Disappointed in Chairman's Award Feedback for 2006

At the NJ regional, I was disappointed in the feedback that they gave back to the team regarding improvements and highlights.

In 2005, they gave us a big writeup of the things that we could improve upon and bits of encouragement for things we were doing well. It was essentially a full page of comments, and I really thought it gave our students realistic feedback for our submission.

This year, we simply received back a six-question checkoff, and two to three handwritten lines of simple one-line statements. Our team reps felt that it wasn't really indicative of what we've done, and that it didn't really give us a good sense of feedback of where we should go in the future.

This obviously could have been how the judges felt about our submission or interview, but I would be very surprised because the improvements that our team made -- we thought we'd get more encouragement from the panel.

Did anyone else find the feedback meager, or am I complaining about nothing?
