Re: Cheering, standing ovations, and required team actions during matches and awards
I don't mind when people cheer all the time. I think it livens up the competition. Sure, noisemakers or MOE sticks can be irritating, but they enhance the atmosphere.
However, it still is a pet peeve of mine when people stand during matches. Notice I said during. Honesty, as long as I see the score, I don't care about field reset. Dance it up and have fun, but please be considerate of the people around you.
Using the Grandmother example from my previous post: Grandma sits down when the team in front of her is either sitting or not there. It hurts Grandma to stand. She doesn't want to move because it is uncomfortable. So, while sounding nice, something like Andy's post offering to help her move can be ungracious at a point. Why should a team inconvenience others into moving?
