Re: Sitting down during matches
We are one of those stand during our match teams. On Saturday we moved to the back of the stands as we were clearly irritating people.

In my opinion, standing during your match is like standing for the last strike of a ball game (sometimes the same duration) or standing on a key play. the problem is that you are one of only 6 teams that are truly interested in giving a boost of excitement for that period of time. We usually sit in the back at most of our events. We are now even having our scouts sit in a different place from the team. We tried this in Atlanta and it worked.
