If the Dean's List award was honestly thought out and defined at the beginning of the season, I would think that FIRST would have put it out at the very beginning to give people as much time as possible to submit nominations for it.

But following the "never enough time" mantra, alas I believe it was something they wanted to try and squeeze in and give some people the opportunity to receive the honor this year as opposed to waiting until last year. Surely students that deserved the honor are students from teams that make it work regardless of having a short amount of time.
