And the mood was contagious-- even when clapping for teams we liked, we sat down after about ten or twenty seconds of clapping, because it feels awkward to be the only ones on your side of the stands standing and clapping.

Coming from an individual who was a rookie last year, don't let that get you down. Come back next year and see how things go.
Last year people would clap straight through all the awards. I noticed a majority of people were rather cheerful throughout the entire competition. This year I noticed the same thing that you experienced, people would sit down halfway through while teams were still high-fiving the judge's hands. Some people didn't even bother clapping for the Regional Winners. It felt as if there was a tension in the arena.
