First-Year (Rookie) and NASA Grant Teams:
Because the Chairman’s Award recognizes sustained excellence and impact, not just a oneyear team effort, it is not possible for a first-year (rookie) team to receive this honor. However, FIRST invites and encourage rookies to develop a Chairman’s Award submission which may be evaluated by the judges determining the winner of the Rookie All-Star Award. This submission will document where your team started its FIRST journey and will also provide background for documenting the results of your team’s efforts – it will be a great way to start your team’s efforts to win the Chairman’s Award.

But you forgot to include the next paragraph.
5.4.2.
Judges will not see your submission unless it is handed to them in the pits.

If you are a NASA rookie team, you have to create a Chairmans presentation and document - you'll have to look for the details in the NASA application and acceptance documentation.

No formal presentation needed for rookie teams. Rookie teams do not get formally interviewed by Chairman's judges. The only interviews take place in the pits.

If your students can explain in 3-4 minutes to the judges who visit your pit why your team should be considered for this award, then no papers or stuff are necessary. But a written reminder (otherwise known as a handout) is usually a good thing.
