Writing a Rookie All-Star submission is a great way to practice award submission writing styles, and is greatly a greatly beneficial process for a rookie team. It can also be helpful to take to potential sponsors/supporters as a summary of your team's identity/mission etc. as it effectively summarises your team.

From my understanding, some rookie teams that received sponsorship from a particular sponsor (might have been NASA) were required to submit for the Chairman's award as part of the sponsorship agreement, despite not being eligible. Hope that helps!
