I'm pretty sure that you need to have the formal business plan executive summary only if your teams wants to be eligible for that award. We just completed the Finger Lakes Regional and the judges came around on Friday morning and collected the executive summaries. If you don't have one they would just move on to the next team. In a way that makes it in the same style as the Chairman's, or like one of the Autodesk awards. The submission is just due at the regional instead of ahead of time.

I also think it is never too late to start running your team like a business. Determine your mission, set some goals to meet your mission and then start tracking your progress toward meeting those goals!
