No Regional Chairman's Award Finalists!

I think that FIRST is making a mistake by not recognizing 3 or 4 Chairman's Award Finalist at each regional.

I like that FIRST has gone to the Regional Chairman's Award format, but I think that there are a lot of teams that are doing great work in the promoting the ideals and goals of FIRST dept.

There are definitely more than the 5 that FIRST used to recognize for their efforts (the winner and 4 finalist).

17 Regional Chairman's Award winners is a step in the right direction but another level of recognition for 50 or 60 teams out of the almost 700 in FIRST this year would be an even better proposal.

As always, your thoughts are welcome...
