Personally, I think rookie awards should only be awarded at a team's first regional competition. If a first year team does two regionals their first year, can they really be considered a "rookie" at their second regional? At their second regional they have as much experience as a second year team that participated in only one regional their first year. They are no longer "rookies" in their experience level and shouldn't be considered at the same level as a team that is competing in their very first regional.
