Yeah it wasn't good. I remember trying to talk to some teams before the matches started and couldn't find anyone.

As far as I know, Georgia is the only state that psuedo-randomly places teams, although I think they put some teams together on purpose (like 1648 being next to our mentee teams 5651 and 6177 at Columbus).

Hopefully they'll put everyone together in the middle of the back or something in March.

I figure there will be slightly less space than there was yesterday. 10 more teams and a practice field can do that.

Thanks for all your input! I will be sure to pass on this to the planning committee for the Gainsville District Qualifying Event in March.

You are right, there will be less space. The March event will have 6 more teams and a quarter-sized practice field in addition to a full inspection station and machine shop.
