Awards at the championship

[jgannon]

Can someone please remind me which awards are given to the field at large, and which awards are given out in each division, at the championship? I've searched the forum and read section 9 of the manual, and I still can't seem to find the answer.

Click on the awards and you'll know for sure about it. I'm not sure if they've made any changes so far, but i really don't think so.

Does anybody know if the judges pick the winner Engineering Inspiration at the Championship out of the pool of teams that won at a regional?

My understanding from the manual and what was said at regionals is that only WFA and Chairman's (and perhaps some of the Autodesk awards--can't remember) require a regional win. (Well, stretch that point for WFA--a regional win in 2004 or later.)

Ah, thank you. I didn't even think to look at last year's results. I blame the lack of sleep.
So, in summary, it looks like the only awards given by division are Highest Rookie Seed, Finalist, and Winner.

No. Its open to all the teams. Judges will come by your pit in group of two, and will analyze your team. two judges will do it for design and technology and two will do it for organization, efforts to wards community, FIRST impact, etc. History states that most of the time EI goes to one of the CA regional winners. I might be wrong, but thats as far as my knowledge goes.
