It was an excellent experience to see the competition in a new light. While I won't go into a lot of detail into the process of choosing award recipients, I am pleased to report that it is just as fair, thorough and impartial as I had always assumed it was.

It was also at least as tough as I had assumed it was. There are more teams that deserve awards than there are awards. I think Dan describes the process fairly well... there aren't "fixed rules" per se, but more of a guiding principle to ensure that the awards are distributed fairly and rationally. We know it matters that we get it right, and we try our best to ensure we do.

If you ever get a chance to volunteer as a judge, I highly recommend you take it. It is a challenging task, but an energizing one, too.

Regarding this: how does one sign up to be a judge or an inspector?
