This decision, and the decision to only give out WFFA's at the DCMP level, gives me the impression that the WFAs are holding on to a failing architecture that cannot adequately recognize deserving mentors. I really dislike split champs, but I dislike split champs without a WFA even more.
The "prestige" of the award does not merit excluding many events from celebrating a deserving mentor.

While I hate half champs almost as much as you do, and I think I agree with you on this, the arguments you've made for the WFA could be applied to Chairman's, the robotics competition, or half champs as a whole.
