Yes. You do not have to win any pit judged award at a regional to win at the championship.

According to a mentor who used to be a judge advisor at a regional, and two people I know that are judges at regionals currently (one at cmp), the chairmans judges are not allowed to talk about what was said in the interview with other judges and vice versa. Only which team has won. According to them, this is very well enforced and respected by the judges. I would imagine that at the championship this is especially true, as they just don't have the time. That's what I have gathered over the years from "flies on the wall" if you will.
