I dont like the current feedback form because of exactly this reason. It implies that there is a "formula" to win Chairman's when that couldn't be farther from the truth. General presentation and essay feedback are great but I'm on the fence about judges telling teams specifics about what they need to "fix" for Chairman's. It puts an emphasis on "winning" the award which FIRST is trying to steer away from. Rather than teams leaving a regional thinking they might have won if they started just mentored a few more FLL teams or called more politicians about STEM in the classroom, FIRST probably wants teams to leave inspired by the award "winner" to do more stuff for their community.
