As far as etiquette, that is usually decided by someone who has decided to become the arbiter and no one argues with them. As I see it, standing is OK when your team is playing an exciting match, when giving a standing ovation or when stretching between the action. At other times it requires that one be aware of their surroundings and if it is obvious that people behind you are trying to see around/through you, standing for no good reason is not good etiquette. It is also not appropriate to expect someone at one of these events to stay seated at all times and one must expect that a standing ovation may result in temporary blocked vision. What would your grandmother

Maybe I should have phrased that a bit differently. I meant: "How come you can't be excited while sitting down?" I agree with two of your times when it's appropriate to stand: Between matches and stretching. However, my grandmother prefers to see the matches and not the back of somebody's head
