Don’t understand all this fuss about 2771 and rookie status. Here is the point breakdown from their first two events.

Traverse City
0 points ROOKIE ALL-STAR AWARD
12 points Quarterfinalist
14 points Qualifying
12 Seed ranking
26 points total collected at the TC district event.

Kettering
0 points ROOKIE ALL-STAR AWARD
2 points Highest Rookie Seed Award
2 points Chrysler Team Spirit Award
11 points Qualifying
11 points for draft pick
20 points for Finalist
26 Seed ranking
46 points at the Kettering district event

74 total points for the two events

21st place in the rankings. So, even if we take the 2 points away for the Highest Rookie Seed award at Kettering it would not affect the outcome.
Let’s give this team credit for what they have achieved.
