The only problem I can see with this is WHEN they announce all the awards. They would have a hard time doing it after the elims - everybody would be headed to watch Einstein.

One easy solution could be to announce awards during the time-outs that (seem to) inevitably happen during semis and finals.

FWIW, the honorable mentions weren't necessarily the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th "placed" teams for the CCA.

There's at least one guaranteed six minute pause between F-1 and F-2. Depending on whether or not they have entire teams walk down to accept their awards, they could potentially get multiple awards done in that break alone.

There's also a guaranteed pause after the end of the semifinals before F-1.
