You would be surprised how many people think their E seat is MY aisle seat!

As for "low/med/high" I agree doesn't have any ambiguity, but is saying "A high" or "b low" or "c medium" clear in the chaotic mess of a match? We tend to hear things like "b low" as "below" or "c medium" as "see medium", and may pause to say "below what?" or "see the what?" - where as "A1", etc ... registers as a matrix location, since it is an alphanumeric combination, rather than phonetic sounds. My thought was to supply a physical sheet with the matrix and symbols on it to every member of the alliance, so by the time the match starts everyone should be clear on the meanings. Having said that, I am still not married to this approach and would encourage other thoughts or ideas! I will post the document up in the morning and put a link on this thread so everyone that is interested can review and comment.

Thanks!
