We left the box unchecked, because we see real value in having our submission judged. |
I agree that the wording of the check box was a bit clumsy. The intent is that the rookie teams that are not eligible to submit for the Chairmans Award, but are required to submit the equivalent statement to NASA as a requirement of the grant, would check this box. I would expect that everyone else that goes through the process of preparing a submission would want to have it judged.
