To be clear, I'm only talking about the scouts here. I've been very clear about this throughout, and it's disappointing if you are now trying to change the focal point of the discussion as you concede my primary and only point. I strongly urge teams that have lots of parents or are not scouting but participating in the larger community event to find seating elsewhere ion the arena away from the competition environment. I have clearly supported a program that reserves seats only for scouts and that the remainder of the team members should be left to find seating through other channels. I'm agnostic on how seating arrangement occurs for those other team members and supporters.
