Re: Record Number of EI Award Wins

There are distinct things being discussed here.

The ways it is judged
Varies by event. I've seen it judged as:
  • Chairman's Award Runners-Up
  • A regular award on the level of Imagery, etc., for the "Culture Change" subset of Chairman's
  • An award similar to and on or near the level of CA, given to a team that didn't compete for CA (happens at MSC pretty often, e.g. 27 last year)

I believe that rsisk said above about the near-term/long-term is true... simply because I trust him. Some judges may see it that way as well.

The way it should judged
I'm totally fine with either the 2nd or 3rd interpretations above, but it's pretty obviously inconsistently judged which is not good. It should NOT be a CA Runners-Up Award. Frankly, that cheapens what is a great award in its own right.


As for who's won it the most, 141 now has 11, since they earned an additional one after "10" was stated above (according to FIRST).
