Let's just admit it, it's not all about gracious professionalism.

Our club used to be like that, (I'm from the same team as OP) but the real problem is that all these kids focus on at competitions is yelling and screaming trying to get the spirit award. When people Should be scouting they put a bunch of fake numbers down and keep screaming. Then when we lose matches because of failed scouting they all keep smiling and cheering. It causes the rest of the team members who put hard work into a robot they want to see do well feel like they don't matter. There needs to be a balance that isn't there and we need to fix it.
