Re: Standing Up During Competition...
From a scouting standpoint, standing during matches becomes a major issue. During Friday and Saturday of the Championship, we sat near the top because that's where the electricity was that we needed to power our equipment, same in Vegas. We have politely waited for teams to sit down, or asked them to sit down if they are blocking the ENTIRE view of the field, and they usually politely agree.
I can understand standing and cheering when your team is announced before the match, when you make an accomplishment on the field, or at the end of the match, we do it too, but any time otherwise is usually inconsiderate to those behind you. In my book, standing and cheering throughout the match does not make you any more spirited than sitting and cheering.
