Re: Standing Up During Competition...

Quote:
I don't know if it is rude or inappropriate. I mean, if you are sitting down all set to watch a match and someone stands up and you can't see, it seems fine to ask them to sit down so you can see (as long as you don't do it in a rude or inappropriate manner). I thought a good compromise at championships was standing up during the pre-match team announcements and then sitting down during the match. Then everyone can see AND you still support your team.
In using "rude" and "inappropriate", I believe Lea was referring to the manner by which some people were using when telling teams to sit down. I feel that FIRST needs to make a rule to lessen the “battles” in the stands. Unfortunately, the teams who are requesting that others sit down are primarily rookies or those who are unfamiliar with how the competition operates.
