Seriously, when are rookies not considered rookies anymore? Now, or not until next season starts? I was wondering about this earlier. What do you guys think, or is there an official distinction?

Once you have completed your Official Competitions, then you are no longer rookies. At post-Championship Off-Season comps you may still be first-year teams, but no longer "rookies". You've been through the grinder already and you have survived as a team! Give yourself a great big pat on the back!

Now, next year, since you will enter the competition as "seasoned veteran teams", we will expect to see top-notch scouting, world-class spirit, record-breaking pit crew, comp team par excellence, and mentoring at least two or three new rookie teams just like all the veterans this year did!

You only THINK you've finished for the year; you'll find that at FIRST the year is never finished!
