I believe these awards are given later as clear way to denote which teams are moving on to the next level--the MC can just say, before the event winners are awarded, that "all the rest of these awards qualify these teams to move on to the (next-level event)!" instead of specifying for each individual award whether it qualifies the team or not. I've heard a few MC's say this, at FTC competitions and on FRC webcasts. I imagine it's helpful for extended family members and other event visitors.
