The website award criteria is so vague, I don't think it's clear that Delphi doesn't qualify, altho I do remember Brandon saying he's not a student.
I think the goal of the website award is to get more students creating webs, more teams with webs, and more exposure for the FIRST program. And, like the process of creating a chairman's award, the process of building a team web crystallizes what the team is doing, and could be doing, and helps FIRST team members to see what other teams are doing and what is possible.
I know to our surprise a consultant (whose job it is to raise money) for nonprofit groups and politicians heard of FIRST, searched online, and found our web (before our student built web) and traveled an hour to see our facility and team cuz she was impressed by the web and our focus on encouraging girls. She gave me excellent advice on getting our team money.
BTW, the team web is submitted to the website award consideration by being linked from your team that's listed on whatever regional you're going to. So your team's main contact has to make the student web the main web.
ps. Chief Delphi is my favorite FIRST web.
