Excellence being withheld

So, this past weekend(Jan 25th) I competed in our Regional tournament for Hawaii and for MS and HS, excellence was withheld. For high school, they said they needed more time to pick the award winner and would announce it on Tuesday. Came Tuesday and they ended up giving the slot to the innovate award winners. On the other hand, no middle school team met the criteria apparently and was completely withheld. Instead the slot was given to the Design award winners. I know that a team still got the Worlds slot but, why would they do this?

Region: Hawaii

Just following Guide to Judging and Qualifying Criteria requirements. Sometimes complex situations arise, and need to be ironed out with RECF. Best to get it right.
