Same problem at Rocket City. We got the binder we gave judges back at the end of Saturday, and found no feedback inside. They told the student to come back later. The student and myself came back post-awards and they still had nothing, and the staff didn't know anything about it. We walked over to the field, where judges were still mingling, found the interview judges, and asked them. We asked them if they knew anything about it, and the woman we were talking to had to call over another judge to ask him (whom had supposedly done it). He told us he would email it to us within a day (we asked it to be quick because we had an event the next week). I gave him my team business card to send it to.

Fast forward a day, nothing. Emailed the regional director (super helpful!) who got in touch with the judge and forwarded us the feedback the next day. The issue is that the feedback didn't say much of anything. It was INCREDIBLY general, short and at some points, contradictory. For example, under "impressed" they listed "clarity in presentation," but then under "improvements" they listed "Sharpen your presentation skills. Articulate clearly and concisely your accomplishments." I suppose there are some ways that this information could be non-contradictory, but overall there's not much my students can get out of it. The video section had absolutely no notes. My students are sort of under the impression they just forgot to write feedback for us and threw something together, but I really can't make any guesses as to what happened.

For our second event, the feedback form was missing and we got an email from someone, who then physically mailed it to us. This feedback was more helpful, just confused why it couldn't have been given to us at the event.
