I sent this same topic to the board two years ago. I was told then that there was not any congestion around the mats. But this response was from the ones that walk up and down the center of the mats or sit at the head table.

Each year it has the congestion has been worse. Many of the parents that never step on the mat to coach are standing mat side trying to get as close as they can to the action.

Several years ago coaches had to have the bronze and a floor pass to be on the floor. Might be time to bring it back.
