Re: Website Award Worth Nothing?
Not sure how I feel one way or the other on the point values assigned, but the response does make sense. The point values don't end after you make States - those 64 teams are competing to qualify for the FIRST Championship based off of the points from their 2 District events plus points earned at the State Championship (at least the remaining spots after the championship is determined). Because of this it wouldn't be fair if a handful of teams were eligible to earn points at States that the rest of the teams were not.

Winning the Website award is a very cool thing and the teams that win it should be very proud whether or not points are awarded for it. Sometimes the intrinsic value of winning an award outweighs any extrinsic reward for it. Congratulations to those teams that won on a job well done.
