Re: Showing the Chairman's video during the presentation
To answer your question. Showing your video while presenting is not illegal. Section 6.4.3.4 of the 2013 Competition manual states:
"Teams submitting for the Chairman’s Award must provide a DVD to the judges at the start of their Chairman’s Award interview. The content of the video must be in English and should explain what the team has done to earn the Chairman’s Award. The video may be shown to the judges during the team’s 5 minute presentation time or the team can choose to not show the video during the presentation time."
It is also true that the judges do not have to watch your video during the judging process, but many do. The problem with showing your video during your presentation time is that you now have 2 minutes to talk to the judges to add anything else. This can be a problem depending on the amount of material you need to get to the judges. My team has a 5 inch binder filled with material that we need to get across to the judges. In order to do this we present during our 5 minute window, but during our presentation make subtle hints that more detailed information can be found in the binder or video, thus making them want to see the video and read the binder.
Hope that helps!
