So, as long as you can outrank all the other rookie teams going to your regional, you're going to St. Louis.

Also, there have been rookie teams in the past that have won Chairman's, so community outreach is another way to do it. There's also Engineering Inspiration, another Award that rookies have won. It just depends on how you look at it.

1. Highest rookie seed does NOT qualify you for the World Championship. Rookie All-Star does.

2. Rookies are not eligble to win the Chairman's award. - Eric beat me to it.

I believe at Crossroads 2014, we presented for Chairman's despite not being eligible for the award, just to help our chances of Rooke All-Star.
