I don't believe you missed it. I assume it is still happening, but I have been wrong before.


I assume it will be like 2011, where it was announced at the concert.

I'd bet a lot of teams are leaving right now with it running so late. What a disgrace.

FIRST is announcing the FLL Champions Award, FRC Inspire Award, and FRC Chairman's Award at the Finale.

That is so stupid.

FIRST got a lot wrong with this Championship, but I don't think forgetting to announce their 3 most prestigious awards was one of those things.

Will it be streamed?

[wendymom]

Or not steaming the closing ceremonies so everyone could see who wins

[orangemoore]

FIRST dropped the ball at the biggest event of the year.

So then when is it? Please don't tell me it's at the end after the concerts.

They didn't forget to announce, they're just super super super late (1 hour) in doing so. The Finale stage has a podium and four seats (Dean, Don, etc...) so it should be as soon as this starts....

Until then we'll just be feeling this bass...

Yeah, all I see on the livestream is the first logo and raining confetti logo shapes. No music, no info. If it wasn't for the chat, wouldn't really know that anything was still going on.

This is the same thing being shown on the big screen here

I am happy that they are giving the most prestigious awards in FIRST their own stage now instead of it being a sideshow to Einstein as it has been in the past.

Or they can present it on the same stage as Einstein, while everyone is still present and while FIRST has everyone's attention. Everyone wants to stay for Einstein, but not everyone can stay for the finale, especially those who didn't know they would present the CCA winner then....

I briefly saw a DJ flash on the webstream. Then it was back to the logo about 10 seconds later.
