Re: Has anyone noticing changes in Regional Chairman's Award, now that you can compet
I have to say that I have personally seen nothing but great results from the new rule. 422 won its first ever RCA in 15 years at its second regional in Virginia. At the Alamo Regional, where 624 really strutted there stuff, the student presenters on 422 received great feedback from the judges and words of encouragement for the next event, and I really believe that made the difference for them. Another team competed at Virginia Regional for its first event, 1086. They did not win the Chairman's Award there, but I'd reckon they were able to take the feedback there and turn it around for an RCA win in Cinicnnati this week.
The change makes it easier on FRC as a whole to recognize the best teams possible for their work instead of playing oddsmaker for submitting the award. In addition, teams don't have to sit on our feedback for a whole season now but can instead improve the presentation over the course of days.
