Hey there, Our team (1885) won Rookie All-Star at Worlds in 2006. There is no online submission for Rookie All-Star as Chris is me stated, but you are correct in having printed materials to help. If you are really interested in competing for RAS you ought to submit some sort of Chairmans Award entry. This is valuable for showing that your team is interested in being just as active as the fully established teams. With the CA three of your members will go into an interview and talk about the team to the Chairmans judges. These are different than the other judges for the RAS Award, however, as you might imagine, the judges talk to each other (they eat lunch together
). You should have one or two people always at your pit to be there to talk to other teams who visit your pit for scouting as well as judges who will walk through the pits interviewing teams informally. The best suggestion for winning RAS is to have printed materials outlining what makes your team great. Hand these out to those judges who visit the pits. Brochures are helpful, as well as formal business plans. It is also a nice gesture to have a letter or two from your sponsors explaining that partnership, or a letter from parents, or about a particular student. Give them a good story, and sell your team, much the same way as you would a business proposal in a trade show.
