Re: looking for help on chairman award

[quote=AmyPrib](I'm not sure if rookies do interviews for C.A.) QUOTE]

Rookies do not do a formal judge's interviews for Chairmans, since they are not eligible to win a CA. There may have been some regionals with time on their hands and generous judges who let the rookies have an interview, but with the increased number of teams, it's hard enough getting all the eligible teams in for an interview, and completing all the feedback sheets in the time allotted.

For example at Chesapeake this year, there are tons of rookie teams that have to do a CA entry because they received NASA funds, and this is one of the requirements (these entries go to NASA). But these will not be seen by the judges unless the teams hand them to a judge. Only the veteran team CA entries go to the judges who are assigned to judge CA. The rookies will not have a formal CA interview with the judges. We also have lots of veteran teams that will be submitting a CA entry. There is a great line up of teams attending.

Judges will often ask to take show and tell items back to the judging room with them to look over. These will be returned on Sat. to your pit.
