The folks at FIRST and the committee that was formed to do the HoF have been notified and are gonna look into the situation.

I don't think that there is any irreversable harm that has been done - I trust they will come up with a very good solution to the problem.
Interestingly enough, they have also had rookie teams submit a Chairman Award at a regional. Sounds like there needs to be a better filter implemented to assure those that submit are eligible. Like I said, no worries - it'll all get straightened out.
Thanks meaubry for this post. I too trust that FIRST will come up with a meaning clarification. And Ashley, I too, appreciate your post and I hope you realize that this is not about the merits of your team. There is just a lot of miscommunication going on over the process itself.

If those rookie teams that are submitting are NASA grant receipients, it is a requirement of getting any NASA money to prepare a Chairman's Award entry. NASA wants their documentation. But I don't know where it goes from there, whether they go on thru the interview process.
