I was talking to a student on a rookie team in PNW a few days back and they were shocked when I told them that Rookie All Star and Engineering Inspiration winners compete with their robots at Champs regardless of their performance qualifications, and that you didn't have to win an award at the District Championship to qualify for it at St. Louis. It's amazing what gets around.

To be fair that's how districts and DCMPs work.

If you win RAS or EI at a district you only compete for the award without your robot at DCMP, unless your robot also qualified via points or Chairman's.

However if you win EI or RAS at your DCMP, you compete with your robot at Worlds.

It's still possible to win entrepreneurship even if you didn't win it at an event earlier this season. They will most likely start with the teams that HAVE won it, and you will have to really woo the judges to overcome their advantage, but it is possible.

Of the 4 division Engineering Excellence winners in 2014, only 868 won it at a regional.
