[ECDU]: Awards
 

So far we have come up with these award options.

Chairmans/Woody Flowers-an outstanding driver/coach/manip/or team that shows GP and does the best at his/her job. And helps spread the ideals of ECDU-for the woody flowers part-we could name it after an amazing driver.

Best drive team-self explan
best HP-just depends on what they have to do
best coach-strategy wise
best primary driver-trying not to base it on robot abilities.
repairs-for the team that always breaks-but comes back every round in one peace.

who does that remind you of? :rolleyes:

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

yet again the sponsor thing comes into play-some awards will just be that-like a plaque or object. Woody Flowers/Chairmans will involve scholarship money, since its individual.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

Ok i made a more specific list for the awards.

Woody Flowers(name to be changed)-Goes to the individual who does most to improve the team, the first community, and their own community.

Chairmans-Team that does the same as Woody Flowers. However, the team should be successful.

These will be announced during the awards ceremonies after finals.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

and then theres the awards for After Qualy's

Best Driver-Manipulator-HP-Coach-all to be determined by a panel.

Driver-does not have to mean they have a good bot, just that they handle situations well.
Manip-Just best at the specialty of there bot.
HP-Whatever that is-they are the best at it.
Coach-able to make great prematch strategies, and be able to follow them on the field, but also changing on the fly.

We could just combine them into a best team award though.

Then theres the specialty awards of best defensive round, offensive round, play of the day and best overall match.
d-would be lowest opp score-without penalties
o-would be highest score
play of the day-single play that was amazing
match-just a match that should be seen by all due to excitement.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

so how would we go about doing this?! so i'm going to put in how i think it should be done (even though it might have already been stated)

At Each Regional, during Friday night's thing (OMG! i forgot what it was called!!!) everyone who is within the ECDU meets up at a determined place and sits down and talks. They bring up diffrent idea's, and thier own opinons, and have essintally a final vote. From there, we give an award (wiether its a piece of papper in a frame, or some type of medal (i like the papper idea because it can be done on the spot, and be personalized for the team that wins it (or persons name) and also show the yera, and event, etc.)) to each person/team that derserves the award on saturday either during the last qualifying matches or during lunch (unless you have to do strategy or what not) where the members of the EDCU that are there gather and congratulate the winner together, and it should be able to be won by a member or non member.

As for nats, we would do it by division =D

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

isn't it just called "the team party?"

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

Well, the vote may not be determined by us. We could have our sponsor wanting to do it. If not, we probably will have to pick an impartial group to do so. But ya-the paper is a good idea-but we can have medals to go with.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

But the discussion is a good idea. We could do that at Lunch times or at the party-but isnt the party only at Nats?

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

is there some thing at friday night at the NJ regional? I don't remember it. cause we can hold the award thing after the pickings.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

I didnt think so-thats y i was saying we should do it after Qualys or Finals.

And for nats-ya i like the idea of Division wise-but i also think we have to do it as one final thing too.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

yea that is a good idea for nat but we have to do it doing a good time for each driver.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

ya-thats why wed do it at the team party or during lunch.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

team party? what are you talking about.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

Sorry the party at nats-whatever its callled-the teams party lol. no idea.

but everyone goes-so its the perfect spot.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

that is a big thing to do i mean you have to have alot of people under control when there is fun games around it is hard.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

True-but theres not gonna be many other times to do so. If we could meet in a hotel-it would be amazing-but not everyone is at the smae place.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

AH HA!!! the friday night "social" both BAE and UTC had one on friday night =D nats, since everyone is staying just about within a 20min or less walk we could meet up somewhere for each division...

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

what about in the morning? Before the matches for that day start when everyone is setting up for the day.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

We could probably do it in the morning-but wed all have to leave early, and we might have work to do on our bots, so thats iffy. Also, some mentors may not want people to go that early without them.

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
 

ok, I have an idea for an award sort of like a sportsmanship award. A driver that wants the game to be fair. Someone who is not going to take you out while you are down. things like that.
Another thing My team goes to lone star. We will probably be doing peachtree this year. However I was wondering if we could incorporate this as not so much of an award type thing but sort of an encouraging other teams to start unions in their region. any ideas or am i making any sense at all

Re: [ECDU]: Awards
