I think that this statement is quite misleading, if not false. From personal experience with one standing team at the Chesapeake Regional last year, standing (when repeatedly asked politely to sit down) can be seen by some sponsors as rude and inconsiderate. So standing can also
hurt a team trying to get sponsors.
That said, REX was standing a great deal at Chesapeake this year, so I am not saying don't do it. Fortunately, we didn't get any complaints (that I know of) so I assume it was acceptable to others (probably due to the arrangement of the bleachers in the USNA).
My only opinion is that teams should be flexible in following GP: consider those around you and never
impose your attitudes on the issue.
"Nuclear" is pronounced "nu kli Er." It is NOT pronounced "nu kU ler." When you use this pronunciation, no matter how smart you may actually be, you sound like an illiterate dolt (are you listening, Mr. Bush?). - dlavery [more]
