Thanks for your response, FrankJ. I understand what you've said, but you didn't lay out the terminology. Are mentors who are announced for WF at district events called nominees or semifinalists?

And do you agree that all Dean's List candidates are nominees going into their first district event, and that the one or two who are announced at the end of the district event are semifinalists? And further, that the semifinalists from all the district events then go on to the district championship, where one or two of them will be named as DL finalists?

I'm asking about terminology here more than process. It pains me to print incorrect information in the newspaper, e.g. that Jane Mentor was named as a semifinalist, when she was actually just a nominee, or that John Student was named as a finalist, if he was just a semifinalist. Words are important. I don't want any of our publications to be misleading.
