I think that 2771 got their rookie status correctly at the time it was made. Perhaps after adding members they never went back to ask FIRST again. Or perhaps FIRST decided that once a status was given, that status will stay - a valid position because there does have to be some cutoff point, whether that be kickoff, ship (bag) day, or first competition.
To make an analogy, the question becomes does a team need to be "reinspected" when they add "new equipment"?
PS, let's be very careful with this thread.
