Re: 2009 BAE Granite State Regional
My team did not participate but a few of us drove up to the event. I came in without wearing any team colors, just a spectator.

As a spectator, I was appalled at the teams who had many seats available in "saved sections" and were indignant or downright rude when I asked to sit.

After getting bounced from the fifth "saved section" I tried to point out that saving seats was not allowed (section 3.15.4). What I received was a hostile tirade... I just walked away...

This is no way to treat a visitor... If I were a visiting teacher or engineer looking to start a team, I might have walked away forever...

Regards,

Mike
