Re: Awards and How they Are Chosen

James,
Some awards like Highest Rookie Seed are simply output by the scoring records and are not decided in judging. So a highest rookie seed can also receive one of the other judged rookie awards. Would it help to say that some awards are decided long before the competition is at an end?
Yes, Woodie and Chairman's (and the other predetermined awards) are independent of the technical awards. The judges for Woodie Flowers only look at the submitted essay, so to for Dean's List I believe. The judges for Chairman's are very busy with the Chairman's teams and looking over their submitted documentation and do not participate in the team judging. Their top Chairman's pick will not lose that position simply because other judges have decided to give them other awards as well.
