If that is a requirement then state that in the awards submission rules in the manual, if it isn't.. then I don't know..
But it just seems to be.
These two outreach efforts are awesome, but biased judges? Not true. Look at the Hall of Fame members:
103, 175, 191, 151 (and probably others) - no mini comp
Also 103's involvement in FLL was minimal in 2003 and was only one small blurb in a CA entry filled with "other stuff"
341 - a threepeater, runs a mini comp, no FLL, but you should see all of their other outreach efforts - many that don't require many resources.
