Saving Seats

In the 9 years I've been with FIRST, seats have always been on a first come, first serve basis. At BAE, at the UTC regional, at the NJ regional, at the Chesapeake regional, and at the championships. You may be in a section one day, but chances are, you won't be there the next day if you don't get to them early enough. There's always been debates about "You stole our seats, we were here yesterday." Seats are seats, we're all watching the same thing.
