A rookie team should be eligible to win the Regional Chairman's Award, but let's face it... do most rookie teams have a chance?? Most probably don't even really know what FIRST is really about yet. This brings up another question - did a rookie team win Chairman's Award at a regional last year??.. just curious. It's just highly unlikely that a rookie team is going to win the Chairman's Award. Now, if they are this awesome ideal FIRST team right off the bat then more power to them, but most rookie teams take a year or even 2 years to really get going. Why FIRST made this new rule... I don't know, it seems kinda silly to me. But yes, Rookie teams should be eligible to win the Chairman's Award.
