Hey 5249,
I did some work with fellow rookie 4991 in Pittsburgh this year, and we found 234's appropriately titled series,
Rookie Videos- After the Build, What’s Next? to be insanely helpful. I'm a 10 year vet and I feel that the rookies were more than adequately prepared after we watched these videos:

The Pit, Inspection, Judges and Awards videos in particular I thought were very helpful in explaining the next few steps.
