Probably, the only thing the Judges have to do with this award is high-fiving the winners and possibly helping to write the script for introducing them.

What you have quoted is from Section 6.14.4 which is specifically for the Rookie All-Star Award.

Sorry to be unclear; yes, I was quoting the requirements from the manual for Rookie All-Star in order to clarify that robot performance is only one piece of the equation and it is more about Chairman's-type attributes. It seemed to me that you were saying they should get RAS based on just robot performance, but only Highest Rookie Seed is determined by robot performance alone. I must have misunderstood.
