I would suggest that if something like that is happening, your team can vote with its feet and attend another regional. I'd also let the RD know you're not coming back because you don't feel you have a fair chance at winning awards due to a judging process than penalizes your team for winning technical awards and Friday awards. It's nothing but the truth, and one would hope the RD would look into things if enough teams brought similar complaints.
