They are no longer "rookies" in their experience level and shouldn't be considered at the same level as a team that is competing in their very first regional.
They were still rookies when they designed and built the robot. By your logic, they aren't rookies after their first match, right? That would be so difficult to manage and there would be no rookie award at the World Championship.
