It wasn't really unofficial. Winners still qualified to go to Atlanta, and the awards, game, and tournement structure were the same as everywhere else. The only difference was they gave us different style trophies than FIRST's standard circle/square/triangle.

It might have just seemed unofficial because there was no announcement on the actual FIRST site.
