Not too many people, but all kinds of spaces marked with mats, bottled water, etc.

Apparently, groups of friends must take turns coming early and marking their spots. Just like the town squares. Hard to tell for sure whose spaces they are as there are some people standing around, but not nearly as many (maybe 50%)? as there are spaces marked off.

Same kind of deal - wish it wasn't so.
It's a shame that this is allowed. It causes most participants to have to get there earlier and earlier to get into the class at all, just so others can sleep late and waltz in at the last minute.
