Re: Rookie All-Star Twice?

Hi Dana,
In the 2006 season, our team (#1511 Rolling Thunder) won the Regional Engineering Inspiration award at the Finger Lakes Regional.

When we got to Boston, we felt that we would be a good candidate team to win the EI award again, but we signed a petittion to ask the judges to NOT consider us for that award agaain.

We did NOT expect and did NOT want the judges to announce this since it might make the actual winner feel like a "runner-up".......

So, each team can do whatever they feel is the appropriate thing in terms of gathering as much "hardware" as possible; even if multiple repeats of the same award, or can do the "GP" thing and let other teams have a chance too.

In 2005, we did the same thing for the regional rookie all-star award at two regionals (won RAS in Finger lakes, went on to Toronto and Buckeye and recused ourselves fromthe pool of candidate teams)
