there a difference between the Executive Summary and the Yearbook Page? Im supposed to be working on the YB Page but since FIRST hasnt posted the form I have no clue what to collaborate to get ready so I don't have to do it all at once when they decide to get the file on usfirst.org, any info on this would be much appreciated!

Yes, there's a difference. Both are required for the chairman's award app. Yearbook page is required by all teams.

Executive Summary page 8...
awards

white paper based on last year's yearbook page.

I had replied to the FIRST answer and she/he just let me know she doesn't reply to replies.

I've posted the following...
"In the past we have scanned in the Executive Summary Form and typed our text in the spaces provided and changed the margins to make use of the page...If we are not changing the design of the form and we are still fitting it on one page with 10pt font, why is this not acceptable?"
"The Executive Summary form is just that, a summary for the Judges to review. You can cover the information in depth on the other pages."

I understand that it's a summary page and info can be covered in the yearbook page and the chairman's award application.

I think the question was if handwritten or typed text goes "over" the 2 lines provided under the questions, does that disqualify the application? I've searched online and executive summaries from the past did make use of the full page, and had whited out any lines.

Our team also has questions about the yearbook page... there's some info on it in the administation section of the manual, but not much...what is it??? what's it supposed to have on it ? and i thought i read that you were supposed to post it on firsts website, but.. i cant find it on there? Though our team isnt a *rookie team* - we do have a team full of rookies - only one student memeber of our team has ever been in this before, and so we're a little lost on this one.. any help would be appreciated :-) thanks

On FIRST forums they asked and answered someone else...

"our team scanned the Executive Summary form into the computer so that we could neatly type in our responses. By doing that, the computer automatically changes the margins of the document. Will there be a problem submitting the scanned form?

"The document should look like the one in the Manual. If yours looks different and scanning has changed the margins, perhaps you can try different software or a different scanner "


It's again not an answer to the real question - would their application be disqualified.

Hi, I have a version of the Exe. Sum. in MS-Word format
that some of the NY schools are using.

Just e-mail me with a request and I forward it to you.
Hope it is helpful to anyone.

Nice job, now the hard part :
the body of the Chairman's
Award- striking balance between text and pics...
this seem to be the biggest issue the teams are
having right now (I won't even get into "color
schemes" topic)

Best wishes.
