But you said that the Chairman's points were relatively irrelevant. Fact is every point matters for qualifying for CMP, so CA needs to be properly weighted for that consideration even if it gets you an automatic entry with your robot to DCMP. Competition for CA at DCMP can be very stiff and some districts are only able to send 1 CA winner to CMP.
I think it is weighted just about right currently vs the point values for the other awards.
