The simple fact is that none of us have a website that is completely independent from a third party program not made by the students.

Although Chief Delphi does stretch the limits on how much a website is done by a third party program and how much is done by students, the simple fact that so many people use it and benefit from it should be enough to make them the top contendor for their regional website competition.

The differing views and tastes of the judges will give a certain ambiguity to the voting process, but that is part of the spice of the competition.

As long as a website is clean (not gaudy, no strobe lights), informative (white papers, FIRST announcements, links) and interactive (forums, webchats, pMachine, postnuke, link databases, shout outs), then it should be a contendor.
