That is quite a few awards to be given at the division level. Maybe this was done to save time during the championship finals?

Thats where I am also. But in reading the descriptions of the awards it is not clear. It is a big change if this is true and kinda takes away the prestige of winning one of these awards at the championship level.

Additionally I wonder how this will change the way they distribute teams into the divisions. I would hate to think that one division is much stronger for and award than another. As an example the 2nd best site in Curie is better then the one that wins in Newton because of a random distribution of teams.
