The core issue with that is CA judges are already quite overtaxed. (All judges are)
Quality feedback is REALLY hard to write. Heck, sometimes even mediocre "do more community outreach" feedback is hard to write and justify compared to team XYZ who won. Plus, now you have to go back, remember specifics from the team and write feedback after deciding which is going to always feel like justifying your decision and isn't always useful.
TL;DR - Good feedback is hard and it's a bigger problem than just handing the judges a rubric.
