Site Restrictions

I don’t know much about the website contest. I just wanted to know the rules if there are any. I’m a senior so this is my last year. My team’s site is pretty horrible… and I wasn’t aware of it until after our regional. I plan to come back and mentor. If I made the site for my team now could they enter for an award next year? A link to the rules would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you. But as a mentor in college will my site still be able to be submitted??

That would be something FIRST would have to clarify.

That would be against this years rules… should be student built, and if you are no longer enrolled in that school as a student you would not be able to enter your site. The rules however, are very unclear, and will be forsure fixed next year… maybe they will let all sites run… or will qualify further on what a “Student Built” website constitutes.

Well right now (when im making the site) im in the school. And I don’t think they’ll change anything except updates so I think thats within guidelines, right?

Yeah, the way I see it, if you do it all when you are a student… and then don’t do anything after that. You should be fine, just show the students next year how to do it and it would still be with-in guidelines. The rules really… aren’t clear…

You could have had a non-student webmaster do everything, and still have won because no one checked. It did happen this year. (BTW not referring to CD, they followed the rules).
