Best of luck to rosie in boston...

Both teams will probably be trading the award back and forth between them for as long as they still qualify for it.

It is a a rivalry.....A happy one!

what ever happened to the rochester trophy? I just remembered about that...

Wow, that's quite the accomplishment. Have you competed in 2007 yet?

1188 got Rookie All-Star in 2003, CA in Detroit in 2004, and then EI in 2005, 6 and 7 (DT, GL, GL). Which means we have qualified for, and gone to, the Championship all 5 years of our existance.

1108 also has qualified for Champs every year - how many other teams have?

Re: How Many Threepeat Chairman's

So does anyone else remember when the Championships were still in Orlando, and the year (1998?) that Dean announced the addition of the five "Chairman's Award Runners-Up"? If a team won three "Runner Up" awards, they would automatically earn a Championship Chairman's Award for the next year (in which case there could actually be two Chairman's Awards given that year). I wonder if a Regional Chairman's Award is equivalent to a "Runner Up" award, and if earning three or more should qualify a team for a Championship Chairman's Award?

Re: How Many Threepeat Chairman's

I dunno, but I think if Krunch has earned 5 Regional Chairman's Awards, that should qualify for something. That is very very special. Three is an incredible achievement and should qualify as such - much less five.

Another team at Philly that is often overlooked on CD is Lansdale Catholic Team 272. They won WFA & RCA in Pittsburgh (2004?). They have one of the most enthusiastic, hardworking, and helpful teams in FIRST. They also do very well on the field each year.

Don't forget 433 either.

Re: How Many Threepeat Chairman's

Yes, the CircuiRunners have graciously recieved the RCA three years in a row. We fell to mighty 612, but look out for those guys getting their third one next year. They are on FIRE.
And looking back on it, VCU was absolutely ridiculous when it came to the strength of all the teams there, especially when it came to chairmans award.
Best of luck to all teams competing this year.

And as Sean pointed out, putting some of the stronger RCA teams in the HoF would make a little room for someone else to win an RCA, especially at mature regionals where the competition is very stiff every year.

Re: How Many Threepeat Chairman's

If we count the old "Chairman's Finalist" awards from the days before the Regional Chairman's, 16 joins this club as well.
They were Chairman's Award Finalists in 1996, 1997, 1998, AND 1999, and finally won the Chairman's Award in 2000. They also won the 2004 Chesapeake Chairman's award.

If you count the "Chairman's Finalist" awards, Buzz would also be in there. They were finalists in 1999, 2000, and 2001 before winning a Regional Chairman's award (the first year of regional chairman's awards) and the Championship Chairman's award in 2002.

You can throw 67 in there too. They followed their '97 National* Rookie All Star with National* Chairman's Finalists in '98 & '99. They finally won the big one in '05 after a West Michigan RCA.

As for HOF teams winning a RCA, 22 did it at LA the year after winning the National* Chairman's Award.

*Remember it was "Nationals" back then.

They won it by mistake.
It seems the judges were unaware that they were not supposed to reward them the Chairman's award.

Following up on Brian's post, MOE did not submit a Chairmans Award entry for 2004. We had a number of program ideas for the organization that were in their infancy (MOEmentum, MORE, 501(c)3 development, FLL tournament, etc.), and it was appropriate for our team to focus our resources on what we needed to do to develop, grow and sustain these young programs. That "year off" from having a Chairmans team has significantly helped our organization, and has given us a stronger foundation to accomplish our goals.
