Also, I disagree with interviewing. It really doesn't let students on drive teams even be eligible. Just like how we don't have drive team members on Chairman's award teams. Drive team members are most often the leaders of the teams...the ones deserving the Dean's list award. They don't have time to leave for an interview.

My apologies for reviving an old thread, but here's some info I got from a MAR info session yesterday at Duel on the Delaware regarding the Dean's List interviews:
All Dean's List nominees in MAR will be
guaranteed an interview scheduled at one of the districts they attend (sounds like preferably the earliest one). No promises that it won't interfere with their team's matches or chairman's presentation schedule though, since those aren't scheduled until at the event. They are planning on having the interviewer being the same person that reads the nominee's essay. There will only be one interview per nominee per season (They hope to get down with all of the interviews during the first few weeks of competitions, if possible). Once the organizers get the info for which teams are submitting how many nominees and which teams are competing where, they will create a schedule for when/where each nominee will be interviewed. The nominees will then be narrowed down to a certain number of semifinalists that will be eligible to compete for Dean's List Finalist at the MAR Regional Championship.
Oh, you mean the refs. The only hand signal I've seen the judges use is the hi-five. - RoboMom [more]
