Sometimes you want to assign 'table captains' to particular tables. For example, at business or charity events where these people have sponsored tables.
If you want to assign particular table captains to particular tables, you can do that by:
•Manually dragging each table captain from the 
Guests pane to their seat in the 
Floor Plan pane.
•Locking them to the assigned seat.
It might help to set table captains to have VIP status.
Once you have all the table captains assigned and locked, you can fill in all the other guests around them using automatic seat assignment.
If you want to space out table captains, one per table, but don't care which tables they sit on: •Add table captain as a type of guest using a custom field. •Set guests of type table captain to sit Not near to each other.  The automatic seat assignment will then try to space them out, one per table. |
