According to last year's rules, teams in-district can still win CC Awards and receive the appropriate invites to the District Championship in all additional events. The points only count for the first two chronological in-district events.

Teams out of district coming in can not win CC Awards at that event. Not only would it be a logistical nightmare ("hey! get your robot back here in 3 weeks!" as well as "ok, so if they get to go to CMP, who are they representing?"), but the DCMPs are meant to be the best of that particular region.

(As an aside, I honestly know we talked about whether the out of district teams would be able to interview anyway, but I'm completely blanking on what was agreed upon - I'll see what I can dig up.)
