Often, tournaments accepting Digital Notebooks will have a deadline for the submission a week or 2 before the actual competition. Some teams may have multiple tournaments relatively close together in time such that these deadlines overlap. How should Innovate Award Submission forms be handled in these cases? Obviously, teams may be updating their notebooks between the deadline and the tournament (both for purposes of the Innovate Award and as part of their natural documentation process). Does the Innovate form for the specific tournament need to be “properly submitted” on the deadline date or on the tournament date?

Answered by Competition Judging Committee
All materials for a given event should be included in the Engineering Notebook by the stated deadline. The Innovate Award Submission form includes the date of submission as well as the event name.
