Teams that submit for Chairman's at a second regional is going to have more time with judges and more practice.
My team may not have much of a shot at CCA, but this is definitely true for us. Our submission at Northern Lights was put together in less than a week, we didn't have handouts, and we literally assembled the poster board the morning of the presentation. Our presentation at North Star will be significantly more polished.
