In addition to results from previous regionals, the judges have a copy of the yearbook page for each team.

This page should be completed by each team in the TIMS system. It describes the team, team goals, awards the team thinks they are competitive for and other information.

Like Amy said, the worst thing that could happen is for teams to get a checklist of things to do to earn a certain award. That would clearly hurt the spirit of the judging and award process as teams created a checklist of item a, b, and c to complete. I think some awards are open to the judges interpretation and can be slightly different from event to event based on the background and expertise of the judging panel.

It is important for your team to know what awards you might be a contender for, and to have people ready, knowledgeable and eager to talk to the judges. If you don't know what award you could be a candidate for, how could the judges know?
