[iBob]

I'd like to see a list of the 75 teams that got the recognition... is there one?

That's been tried already--it's just the winners:

[EDIT] That's only a list of the best website awards, it doesn't include the excellence award.

Taken from your website:

Fixed-size: This was done for a number of reasons such as to-the-pixel element positioning, and content delivery to different media and resolutions. You'll notice that this website works in screen resolutions as low as 800 x 600 pixels. Those with anything above 1600 x 1200 (which is four times larger than 800 x 600) pixel resolution may have difficulty reading the text, but that is easily remedied by altering the text size in-browser.

I love your website. Its very nice looking and one of my favorites. I like the alternate style sheets. Too bad IE doesn't support the ability to change them through the menu's like Mozilla. Though I really wonder why most people go for absolute positioning and not relative.

I think there's a lot of confusion here. Let me copy and paste the following information from the Awards section of the 2004 Competition Manual. It should clear a lot of things up for all of you:

8.8 WEBSITE DESIGN AWARDS

The Website Design Award recognizes excellence in student-designed, built, and managed FIRST team websites. Eligible websites are judged/scored PRIOR to the competition by a panel of judges. Two subcategories of awards will be given for website design:

1) “Website Excellence”

2) “Best Website.”

Every submission that meets the FIRST website design standards of excellence will receive the Website Excellence award. Website Excellence award winners will receive an electronic certificate to include on their websites, and will be featured prominently on the FIRST website. At each Regional Competition, there will be one award for Best Website. The overall championship Best Website award winners will be chosen from among the regional winners.

8.8.1 Submission and Deadline Information

Only team websites that are entered into the FIRST team management information system via the FIRST website by noon (12:00 p.m.) on February 20, 2004 will be judged. Team websites are eligible for these awards at every regional event in which the team is competing. Only one electronic Website Excellence certificate will be awarded per team for the entire competition season. A team is eligible to win the Best Website award at multiple regional events.

Aside from the fact that they posted the Regional Best Website winners on the FIRST website instead of all the 75 Website Excellence winners (which makes perfect sense), I believe everything stated in the rules above is correct. As long as your website was registered with FIRST's TIMS system by the deadline, your team was automatically entered into consideration for both awards.
