Right now alumni can still log in using their andrew accounts and the server sends mail to *@andrew.cmu.edu, but that email no longer exists. We get the proper information on a shib sign in to indicate whether or not a user is an alumni, and for alumni users we should move them to *@alumni.cmu.edu.

Perhaps a flow more along the lines of: If a user that previously had an Andrew entitlement now has an Alumni entitlement instead, and their preferred email address ends in @(andrew.)?cmu.edu, clear out their old email address and prompt them for a new one.
(And maybe just ask all users to confirm their preferred email upon joining a new hunt, anyway.)
This would also be helpful for the staff in determining whether a participant is currently affiliated with CMU. For the Spring 2020 hunt, we had to email all members of the top-finishing teams to determine whether they are eligible for prizes.
I will note you will still have to email teams, as last time I checked even many cmu students didn't end up using the CMU login for authentication (for reasons I can never understand). There will also be cases (such as myself and Tim here) who have full working @andrew.cmu.edu accounts but are staff members not students, as there is no different suffix for staff members.
Although prize eligibility is separate from this technical issue, the affiliation attribute from Shibboleth might help with that. (But as you say, visibility into eligibility will be limited, since I don't think you want to go the route of disallowing and/or auto-federating local account signups that use a federated email.)
