Mr. Krass hit the nail on the head with this remark. When you have a team of 5-6 people doing videos or other high-tech presentations on your activities so that you can win the Chairman's Award, if you do not also have 50 or 60 OTHER people actually DOING the activities, you are missing the point.

The current format requires only 1-2 people for a few hours, even a small team of 14 like ours can afford that, nor will it make a big impact on our other activities. But a video style entry would have required 25-50% of our team to do properly, it just wasn't worth the effort to us.
