Be on the look-out for awards at championships! They can be at any time, in any place, without warning.

I have to argue with 'secret bunker' - it's right on the agenda if you read it ... in the same ballroom where the other two FIRST programs have their opening ceremonies....

Also, FIRSTers complain that the awards ceremonies are too long, and then complain when they try to give out awards where a team or person may not necessarily be there, because they're announcing the award early. (Note, I'm not talking about the concert here, because that was definitely not the right way to do CCA that year.)

Pick a side. Do you want longer ceremonies with more awards, or do you want the recognition for some awards to still be announced, but not take up your Saturday afternoon...

Congratulations to Panteras, and to Parker. Nicely done.
