Re: Cheering, standing ovations, and required team actions during matches and awards
Before robotics was started at our school, alomst 100% of students attended our back to back to back to back etc. state championship basketball team. At every game, EVERYONE in the stands stood throughout the remaineder of the game, and that tradition has followed to our robotivcs team.

We stand for our team, teams we are close with, or if theres a really really good match. It has become apart of what our team is. For the past 4 years of our teams existence, we have stood up and cheered for those we thought deserved cheering. DEFIDENTLY durring the awards. This year is the first time i have ever heard of getting angry at our team when we stood up durring our teams match.

I do see the side of thsoe who want everyone to sit, but i also believe that the spirit and atitude in the stands reflect what FIRST is all about and speaking for alot of drivers, it really makes us feel good .

Eventually we decided it wasnt worth the people behind us complaining and yelling at us to sit down so we sat down. But i do hope that this changes and people see why we stand.
