Re: Rookie Awards Ethics Question
The easy way to tell if FIRST has been satisfied that the new team meets all the rookie criteria is the team number that they are assigned.
This year for instance, Rookies are only those teams with numbers 4900 and higher.
They are the only teams eligible for rookie awards.
New "veteran" teams, like 193 was last year (rookie #'s started at 4450 last year), are given new team numbers that are below this year's 4900, usually a never been assigned number that is close to any associated parent/sibling team number. None of these new teams are eligible for rookie awards of course.
This year we have 388 rookies eligible for awards and 10 new veteran teams not eligible for rookie awards.
Not eligible new teams:
265
746
1285
1786
3134
3886
4413
4415
4416
4418
4524
