If you are of above-average height, you are assigned a box as close to the bottom row as possible. If you are short in stature, you will find your box in the top row, or as close thereto as possible. Simple algorithm, used universally in similar situations.
To their credit, if you are assigned a bottom box they will provide knee pads at a nominal costs of $85.95 per year.
