We cheered and clapped when their machine went out and talked to the folks as we sat. When OUR machine went out the same people rooted for the other guy.
Now I know everybody has favorites but it made me feel unwelcome.
From my experiences, I have found this to be true here on the east coast as well. Last year (Zone Zeal) was he first year 84 really became competitive and active in the off-season. After a marvelous time at Rutgers, we made MANY friends, and in return we competed in off-season events including PARC, MD Fair and Ramp Riot. By following the same general teams throughout those competitions, we became friends with several teams such as 103, 25, and 341.
To summarize - through that friendship, this year... we (84 floor team) continued our support of these new bonds. We traveled to the Chesapeake Regional not just to get a glimps of the game, but to support our 'bonds' made the previous year. This continued for us throuh the season and at the Championship Event. Eventhough our team was not out there.... we still felt that these bonds that we had made were important.... and we cheered for those that we knew... or felt had supported us through our journeys.

..... just a random thought thrown in the bucket ....
