The Chairman's Award, contrary to popular belief, is not only about starting x amount of teams. Hosting an offseason event is a great way to improve relations and provide a friendly atmosphere for the first community, in addition to giving newer teams more experience in FIRST events.
It's hard to tell what judges are looking for in a given year, but it's very easy to say that mentioning a team starting 12 teams is equivalently underselling its program as mentioning an offseason event.
