I guess I have worked it tableside because of what the one poster said about you are seeing what the coaches are seeing and you also have a good view of the line they have. I always thought it would cut down on the whining. But I have no proof that it does.
I've also found that whenever you zig to get into position they are going to zag and you will not be where you can see the play. So don't get too frustrated because no matter where you move to try to see you will be blocked out of something.
Also tell them that it's you associations policy that you get both checks.
I actually had one time they did hand me both checks. But it was a junior high set. Made for a decent night.
