Saved Seats for Finalists

[Alex Dinsmoor]

Fortunately for my team, we were able to receive some of the served seats after they had been filled with the division winners and the two team representatives. I realize that my team was lucky, and was unsure if this was because we were finalists, or if the house crew was just trying to fill the empty seats. However, we were seated near some 148 members (division finalists along with 33 and ourselves) which made me realize that it may be because of the finalist situation.

I do agree that finalists should have a section of seats roped off for them. I recognize that there are many teams that are deceiving of those seats, but like those who were division winners, the finalists teams have a chance to make it to Einstein due to the backup robot situation, and how upsetting would it be if your team was called up and you couldn't even see your robot play?
