I always like to see the thought process behind someone's opinion, as it may help me modify mine.
Teams who submit Chairmans pour hundreds of hours into their outreach and their submissions.

While the video is specifically designed to be an outreach tool, both for the winning team's to be displayed at the competition and other teams to use it as a method to promote their team, the essays are a 'direct line' to the judges. Therefore, I think it is personally acceptable for teams to maintain their 'secret sauce' while sharing details about their outreach and team activities and inspiring others through different channels. I also equally respect (and appreciate) teams who are willing to share their submissions, as, to an extent, they can be used to see what works, and what doesn't (or what might stand out more than the next essay).
