I think the change is fantastic. It shouldn't be about "home field advantage". The award should go to the most deserving teams. Having two events to interview was also a big plus for 1058. We had a perfect score at our first event, but lost to a great team in 3467, and were told to add something to make our presentation a little more memorable. We took that advice and won the Chairman's award at our second event over some very good teams. I welcome the change, because I want to see the most deserving teams win.
