standing and cheering is understood. we always, at least close enough to that, stand up and cheer for our team and many times alliance during the introduction of the match. sometimes we'll stand and cheer during the match, but we try not to stand for the whole match. or we in the back and not blocking many to any people. i do think it is annoying for people to keep standing for the whole match. concerning awards, you SHOULD stand and cheer for the winner, showing them the respect they deserve for winning (though forcing somebody to stand is crazy and uncalled). it's only the most respectful thing to do during matches is at least be considerate to other teams trying to watch as well. if you are asked to sit down, do it and don't get angry. that's not what FIRST is about.
