Website Award Worth Nothing?

[RyanCesiel]

First off, I was very happy about our success this weekend at Kettering and proud to have our website, AdamBots.com, win it's third Best Website Award. However, when glancing through this page, I found out that, in points system in Michigan, the award is worth nothing.

In my opinion it should be worth at least 2 points. Since it's the only award that is worth 0 points, it's like saying the award is worth nothing and only encourages teams not to submit for the award in the future (if the Michigan program continues).

This award is important because it encourages developing and maintaining a team website. Having a team website helps get the message of your team and, more importantly, the message of FIRST around the world. For example, according to Google Analytics, our website has reached an audience of 11,107 different people from 111 different countries.
