Championship 2010 - Atlanta - Your Thoughts Please?

I think it would be cool if FIRST gave an extra "non drive team" badge for the field, and then strictly enforced the media pass rules. The extra person could be a team tactician, which many teams offboard from their drive coach, or maybe just any student who wants to get on the dome floor and watch a match from it. This would encourage people to use the "media pass" badge as intended while still giving teams a bit of flexibility on field since the Championship field and pits are so far away.

The last thing we need is even more people down on the overcrowded field area. You know how hard it is to maintain the flow of an event when you have people standing around all over the place right where you have to get robots on and off the field?
Keep them iin the stands and the pits where they belong and out of the way of the actual event so we can get the actual business of running the event done.

I agree. Curie was especially crowded during eliminations, what with team media, regular media, and VIPs coming to see 1114/469 play. In my opinion, there are enough people down on the field as it is.
