The Chairman's Award, at times, seems to have a price tag attached to it. And along with the price tag comes a sort of "number supersizing" where one team has to start/assist/mentor X amount of teams and reach out to X amount of people to be worthy.
Which leads to teams attending regional competitions based on their chance of winning an award. Its a crazy system.

I wonder, if a RCA winner only got the opportunity to PRESENT at champs, and not compete, would people put in the extreme effort?
