Combined division awards and no team media allowed?

[sanddrag]

Really FIRST? Was this communicated somewhere and I missed it.

You're now competing for one set of awards against 152 teams?

Also, these photos teams try to get down on the floor during awards are what gets the grants and sponsorships and pays the bills for FIRST to further their mission. This is rather disappointing.

Did you not read the manual?

Did anyone see awards for Galileo? The stream was playing sponsors until alliance selections.

Section 6.1 of the Administration Manual:

"For the purpose of awards at the FIRST Championship, all awards are given out at the Division level except the Finalist and Winner, which are
given at the Subdivision level. Two Subdivisions are combined to create one Division."

This make sense this year with the increase in Fields, but a less substantial increase in volunteer judges.

Sorry that you were taken by surprise on this, but I'll paraphrase Hallry: Did you search before you posted?

Apparently I did not RTFM on this. Oops. Mods, you can delete this thread.
