brycen66 you pretty accurately described what you should experience in the pits from the judges at a typical regional.

Judging at Championship follows the same general pattern, but it is a little more intense considering the division is 100 teams where a typical regional is 40-66 teams. The majority of the pit interviews were done on Friday at Championship. So 20-25 judges need to visit 100 teams at least twice (machine attributes and team attributes) with 1-2 judges on Friday. Add in trying to find teams that may be queuing and you can quickly see it is a daunting task to visit all the teams on Friday.

A group of judges are assigned to review the Entrepreneurship submission, so you may not have a pit interview focused on that award, depends on whether additional information is needed.

Chairman's award submissions are done in front of a panel of Chairman's Award judges in a separate interview room. If your team was eligible for the Champmion Chairman's Award, they should have signed up for an interview time at pit admin. This award does not typically include pit interviews.
