"FIRST COME HAS THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL" - if you're next in line and the spot that opens up is too small, you offer it to the next guy.

Another thing to keep in mind is that "Karma is Cool" - there have been more than a few occasions where if I'm not in a hurry and I notice someone who could use it, I'll let them go ahead of me. By the time you get a spot of your own, more often than not the person you gave the space to will make a point to thank you for it when he/she sees you on shore. This has led to several good conversations for me. It makes you feel good and you might just make a friend (or get a tour of that 38' Sea Ray you let go ahead of you).

On a different note, common sense and courtesy says that if a 40' Carver just pulled away and you are next in line, PLEASE don't tie up your 17' Bayliner dead-center in the space the Carver just vacated. Pick a side so someone else can tie up too (I've seen this happen too many times to count).

One final point - DON'T BE AFRAID TO STICK UP FOR THE OTHER GUY TOO - peer pressure is a powerful force. It's one thing to yell at a the guy who's cutting you, but feel free to bring it to the attention that he's just cut off someone else.
