Re: Saving Seats

I understand the no saving seats rule on a per-day basis. For example, just because you sat in a seat on thursday does not mean it should still be yours on saturday. However, I do feel that this rule can be taken too far. Some team members will have to be moving back and forth. Even if my entire team shows up first thing in the morning, they will still not be able to park it there all day. If all my pit scouts come, put their stuff down, and go out scouting, am I to be considered "saving seats" if I am holding their spots for them? What if we have older people on our team who can't arrive early in the morning? Yes, only grab the amount of seats that you need. Yes, don't tape up seats and leave them there. However, if there were no saving seats it would be impossible for teams to ever sit together. I just don't think that it's logistically possible to have no saving seats. People will have to get up to do things and come back. Should we make the drive team sit far away from the rest of the team because they had to go down to the pit in the morning and we couldn't save a seat for them? So I agree that new rules should be made, but this could be taken to far.
