Re: Cheering, standing ovations, and required team actions during matches and awards
People on their feet always have more energy. They are standing for a reason, and usually it is because they are excited, motivated and having fun. Some of my most fun moments in FIRST was standing up front with a crowd of people where i could see barely any of the field. If you have a problem with anything people are doing, be it spirit or otherwise, be sure to speak up. But try to keep in mind how important what they are doing is to them.
Edit:
The next bit is off topic but I feel it is relevent. Why do you personally stand for the National Anthem? Just think about it for a moment. Is it to show respect? Your enthusium for that nation? Because everyone else does? Out of habit? To annow the people behind you? Now, why do you cheer or stand up in a FIRST match or award ceramony. Its a personal question. Just think about it.
