I must admit, I'm guilty of standing up some to cheer for our robot. At regionals, we might stand for a whole match, especially during the elimination rounds. At nationals, however, we usually keep to our seats (except for when our team name is announced). I've been asked a few times to sit down because I'm so excited about one score or another.

However, it's not nice to block anyone's view during the events (it makes it difficult to scout matches). It is important that we cheer for our respective teams, but we have to keep the view of the field open. Everyone enjoys the event more a little more if they can see what's going on, especially if they see a match-changing performance.
