Bah... looks like this will be fun trying to wrestle out of FIRST what was wrong with our website.

<rant> I have discussed this with other team's web teams and they all seem to experience the same problems with this award. I am really curious who actually looks at the websites. I think doing some sort of peer-award would be awesome... especially if it was before the event using some sort of system similar to http://www.cssremix.com/ where the webmasters can vote for the best site (it would be great to have web-standards compliance awards as well). But this is all ideas, and I have no idea how to approach FIRST about it, even if it isn't too radical of an idea. </rant>

Sorry for that, I just think it is sad how much time is put into these websites by teams for it to seemingly be brushed off by FIRST. Many of the teams I have spoke to have essentially given up on the award and are now targeting making a nice looking site to present team information for members & sponsors.

Oh yeah, and thanks for the reply Brandon . I do not have access to the account that emails are sent to from FIRST so I appreciate the heads-up for once I do recieve the information.
