Re: Team Awards
Our team has a tradition of doing this for every regional.
The award has changed and is usually something everyone thinks will be nice.
Last year we gave away little skunks with a CARD indicating the award...
We do different things.
We have our scouting team do this... they look for a variety of things.
Most of all we try to show our appreciation for the effort a team puts in.
It is fun to come up with new awards...
We may have the "Best Rookie Pit" award... or the "Best t-shirt" award
or the "friendliest team" award...."coolest Mascot" .... We never mimic the big awards.... we try and make up new categories...
Try and reward teams for giving their best... just have fun with it.
Remember to make it something special ....
The big awards from FIRST are few and quite specific...Too many times they are given to teams with lots of experience... smaller teams deserve to be recognized too... and sometimes the only awards that teams get are from the other teams... Your award will end up in someone's trophy case...
Make it as nice as you can....
Have fun... recognize excellence.... in whatever form you wish...
Good luck and we will see you at the competition!!
