Question Mid-presentation questioning and other stuff...

OK... this sort of shook me a bit funny, but here's what happened down in Buckeye with us, and I would please like to know if any other team out there has had this situation happen to them and whether or not its a bad sign or something of that nature:

We went into the room, presented our goods and then sat down, explained what they were, and then started our little three part speech. I attempted to make eye contact with both judges, and found that one was typing away, another was flipping through notes and other papers. They maybe made eye contact once every 30 seconds. The second part started, and in the middle of my teammate's part one of the judges asked him a question, he answered, then moved on through the presentation. I believe it happened one more time, but that was about it.

Anyone have this happen to them? If yes, please explain, elaborate, etc. etc. I just want to have a good idea of what to do in future presentations.

Thanks!

-Joe
