They are without a doubt a real rookie team, but they happen to be very dedicated and they have some very strong mentorship from many local atlanta teams. Rather than saying it is unfair for a team who is capable of so much to win this award maybe all the future rookie teams should look to this as an example of what should be done to win the Championship Rookie all-star award. It sounds to me like they are already on there way to winning an EI award or a Chairmans award which should be applauded.

Without a doubt they are an excellent team and a great bunch of young people. I believe I said that. And I never said they were in anyway unfair. And you are quite right, they are on their way to a chairman's award. My point, that you have horribly twisted, is that they should win on the merits of being rookies... there are other awards... like the judges award that would cover the extraordinary work they did. In fact I wouldn't mind if they had been given BOTH a Judge's for their work and the All Star rookie for being an exceptional rookie team. I'd actually wouldn't be mentioning this if they had. I just feel the work they did PRIOR to becoming a rookie team should not have been a consideration for this particular award. Just splitting hairs what "rookie season" means.
