Not a lot of regionals have 60 teams. No regional has 60 teams presenting chairmans, even if every eligible team at the event submitted. When it comes to a team winning an event you also have to keep in mind that sometimes that out of state team pushed out an in state team from attending that event lowering there chances of going to worlds.
I think the main issue arises when district and out of state teams consistently win chairmans/ EI at a regional. In Florida 25% of qualifying spots went to out of state teams this year. In fact Florida has given only 1 EI award and 2 chairmans awards to an instate team in the last 3 years. While im not saying those teams don't deserve there awards I am saying its understandable why some people would have a problem with it.
