This does beg the obvious question of Einstein Semifinalists. I'm considering what to do with that (and any awards adjustments).

Consideration over...
Anything at the Division or Subdivision level stays the same, including the awards, which stay the same EXCEPT for CCA and EI.
Semifinalist, Einstein Division - 35 points
Finalist, Einstein Division, AKA World Finalist - 50 points
WORLD CHAMPION (Winner, Einstein Division just doesn't sound as nice)- 60 points

(Yes, I did just classify the whole Einstein competition as a division. It's the size of a small district... and I can remember hearing about even smaller regionals.)

And, as you might notice, that could make World Champion worth just a smidge more points than CCA if the rankings work out right--a move that is generally regarded as "rather uncool" around here. So, of course, we can't have that--and come to think of it, EI is in a little bit of the same predicament at the Division level.

Championship Chairman's: 90 points
Engineering Inspiration: 50 points


Now might be a good time to protest the increased values if you're going to do that; they won't be changing after the drafting starts but I'm open to making a reasonable adjustment before then. You are also welcome to ask for the reasoning.
