Re: How can we improve awards?

Maybe it opens up the new question of whether or not this should be standardized among events? Maybe it is and I'm just ignorant to it.
2005 Great Lakes - 57 wins Entrepreneurship and EI
2011 Dallas - 418 wins Engineering Excellence and EI
2011 Lone Star - 1429 wins Entrepreneurship, Website, WFFA, AND RCA
2006 + 2007 Lone Star - 922 wins Entrepreneurship and RCA. Yes, back-to-back
2013 Palmetto - 836 wins Entrepreneurship and RCA
2013 Hub City - 932 wins Innovation in Controls and EI
2013 GTR East - 1241 wins Imagery, Deans List, and EI
2013 San Diego - 1622 wins Engineering Excellence and RCA
2013 WPI - 1100 wins Innovation in Controls and RCA
2013 Lake Superior - 537 wins Entrepreneurship and RCA
2013 Boilermaker - 1741 wins Innovation and RCA

I got tired of proving you wrong at about that point. Honestly, can you actually imagine a judge or judge advisor uttering the following: "Well we already gave 57 Team Spirit, so we can't give them EI even though they're the best fit for it, that's too many awards."
