On Saving Seats

In an ideal world maybe. As of right now that would leave almost no one winning awards. At one point or another, whether it is egregious or not, someone on all of our teams has "saved" a seat or two.


The only way to stop this is if everyone agrees and actually stops doing it. Otherwise you can be the righteous, noble team that does the right thing and ends up watching matches from behind driver stations....

I think another solution to consider is adding more events and ensuring that the venues can actually hold the team capacities they post. Peachtree last year was a NIGHTMARE because every year the number of teams increased but (alas) the number of stands/seats did not. Those are the events where seat saving gets ugly.
