So, in that case, a lot of teams would be missed in some form of a judging process. Which is why i feel its unfair to teams, especially rookies.
On the contrary - I believe this is doable:
I feel like Trivial Pursuit could only be played by FIRST-ers... but I do like it. I think a category for every team is a difficult one and rookie teams will be uninformed and left out... maybe the only team to win National Chairman's or stuff that's like - indesputable - but categories are difficult to make that remain applicable.

Recalling Game Rules excludes teams who did not play that game... Maybe include founder facts - things not everyone would know but, they'd be equally uninformed. Thus, everyone would learn...

Speaking of Monopoly:
If you made Monopoly... FIRSTers would appreciate it but anyone could play it. You could make properties Regionals and Boardwalk could be Nationals... the pieces could be the robots from the animations and Chance and Community Chest cards could be based on rule violations and winning awards and such (and have other names I haven't thought of.)
