Re: Courtesy during awards.
I wanted to add an update. This past weekend my team 4096 competed at the Midwest Regional and I never even really spoke to them about GP and Coopertition, but at every single award or any mention of someone I stood up during Friday and the team followed suit.
On Saturday during Awards ceremony, the students stood up immediately, and I followed suit. They were exhausted after three days and were still dancing, cheering for the winners and clapping. Every single award.
They stood for like 15 minutes straight as 111,71 & 2151 got their finalist awards, and if anyone was there. There was about 80 people for 11, and another 50 or so for 71. So it took a while.
From now on, regardless of whether I stand or not, I know that these students will stand and in fact encourage others to make sure the respect that should be given is given.
