I noticed a new "Gracious Professionalism Award" for Lonestar. What's the story? I don't remember this before nor do I see it for any other regional this year. It sounds like a good idea though. Was this something special just for Lonestar? What outstanding GP did 57, 434, and 846 show? Sounds like the making of a great new award for next year!
Congrats to all the award winning teams!

This is an award that BP sponsors for the Lone Star regional, we went to our judges and asked them what they felt wasn't really covered by the awards. They told us we really needed an award to recognize the teams that exhibit outstanding gracious professionalism, they said that we teach and encourage gracious professionalism but there really wasn't an award to recognize those teams that took it to heart. Team 57 not only translated for Brazil, Team 1772, they provided transportation to and from their hotel as well as meals during their stay. As for Teams 434 and 846 I am not positive what exactly was said about those teams, I was having to run around and deal with things for the regional so I missed most of the awards ceremonies. I do know that 846 really seemed to be one of the favorite teams among the other teams, I heard quite the roar from the field when they won the BP Gracious Professionalism award Saturday.
