I believe that all awards given other than Finalist and Divisional Winner are among the pool of teams composing the entire Championship event.

However, I was curious as to whether a mentor who has won the Woodie Flowers Award regionally may win at the Championship even if his team cannot scrounge up sufficient funds to compete. Does anyone know the ruling on that this year? I read the manual, and it suggested that the entire set of regional winners composed the Championship finalist pool, but it was vague on whether a mentor of a team not attending might still be qualified to win the award.
