They don't even need to get that tricky about it. Just do what they do for Dean's List currently, and get in touch with all nominated mentors directly. Or, if you want to allow teams to keep it a secret from the nominated mentor, for renominations (which many teams do), put it as a check box when they submit the nomination - If awarded, which champs should it be presented at - A, B, or whichever the team attends (defaulting to the team's default champs should the team not attend one).

It might actually be best to just include that question with the nomination for both WFA and DL, just to take all the ambiguity out of it and ensure full knowledge for FIRST without having to manage the logistics of contacting 100+ individuals for each award!
