Re: Chairman's Award Concerns
I don't know about teams making 'stretched' or 'inflated' or 'misleading' or 'not-totally-true' claims in their Chairman's bid, but what I DO see, frequently, is teams reusing the same wonderful things they did years ago over and over again in their Chairman's videos, effectively using the same accomplishments to win the award multiple times.

I'm not really sure how to reconcile this, because those things are clearly a part of the team's history, and clearly a part of how they do things, and even clearly a part of what makes the team deserve Chairman's. On the other hand, it seems to me like the very best teams should have enough material from the current year that makes them awesome, that the older stuff, especially content from a previous Chairman's bid that resulted in an RCA, warrants little more than a cursory mention.
