Here's what I think most likely happened: You took some convenient seats that belonged to some scouts - probably had some supplies around the seats, but nobody in them directly - and the team saw you. They then said something along the lines of "Hey, we were sitting here" and proceeded to sit around you, not doing anything to kick you out of your seat. You got mad you couldn't get the seats you wanted (and the seat you were saving, even though you're complaining about saving seats?) and decided to post about it on chief.

This thread has the right idea, but I don't think things happened the way you claim they did, and I don't think this is as big of a problem as you claim.

I saw some team mom go full starfish, laying out over rows of seats, while she start speaking in tongues trying to save seats at championships.

I will believe almost anything.
