I could list off a bunch of petty problems I have had with the season but I think by far the biggest one was the lack of reverence given to the Championship Chairman's Award.

EI got a funny speech by Dave Lavery, the teams on Einstein got the big stage but it seemed like CCA was just the Chairman coming onto the stage, saying "well holy cow this team is great" and handing them the award. No long speech about how much Chairman's means (this is one place where I wanted a meaningful speech!), just up and down. And they didn't even play the video! Furthermore, it seemed misplaced in the award ceremony with lots of lower tier awards being given both before and after it. It neither felt like it kicked off the ceremony nor was the finale. Teams in our hall of fame deserve more than that. I hope Frank will post the video on his blog when 1538 releases it.
I was very surprised by this too. If it's the most prestigious award, shouldn't it command more recognition and build-up? Man, the speech we got for winning the regional chairman's award was at least twice as long as that one.
