Re: Cheering, standing ovations, and required team actions during matches and awards
Okay, I understand now Al.
What is boggling me right now is why is sitting and having fun mutually exclusive? Can't people sit down and have a good time and cheer? I don't stand up during events, but I still have a great time. I think that standing in front of someone is a little inconsiderate. There was a standing team in Galileo in the front third of the stands. They took up a whole row and blocked not only those directly behind them, but teams sitting two aisles over. I'd say half of Galileo could not see the finals. Granted, I don't think anybody asked, and I'm sure they would have sat down. So it is kind of my fault. But who knows who was sitting behind them?
Also, people are emphasizing scouts being able to see. Not everybody who's watching matches are scouts. For the people who aren't on pit crew or drive team, this is their purpose for going to events. Why should people who stand ruin it for them?
