The 'passive' participants at this particular games are mostly not wearing the kilt, though Kyle has mentioned that some of the ones who do might wear more casual outfits. Their context pertains to being general spectators, without the benefit of the chairs afforded to the members who financially support the games.

My observation is related to the context, as it has been presented in pictures and commentary on this thread, about this particular games. It would appear that active participants are more likely to dress up to THCD daywear standards. Passive participants appear less likely to wear a kilt, but also to demonstrate a slightly broader range of attire when they are kilted.
Very well put, Colin. Your assessment of the context as it relates to both "active and passive" participation is absolutely spot on!

Cheers,
