**When I say "chairman's judges" I mean judges that ask about involvment, schools, sustainability, etc...basically, anything non-robot.
Did your team have a 10 minute scheduled interview with Chairman's judges on Thursday? (moved to Thursday because award was given out on Friday.) These are separate judges just focusing on Chairman's and they usually make all the decisions.

The judges in the pits asking the team organization and sustainability questions are usually focusing on the non-technical judged awards like Entrepreneurship.

There are some resources on the NEMO resource page on judging. I did a presentation at a workshop last fall.

Disclaimer. I have not been a FRC judge for 3 years.
