A.      District FIRST Impact Award Winner,

B.      District Ranking (based on total points earned at their first 2 home District events as detailed in section 11.1 District Events),

Teams do not earn points at third or subsequent District events, nor at any inter-district or Regional events at which they compete during the season.
