Re: National Championship or National Chairman's

I think the chairman's is a more worthwhile award.. Is is more exciting? Probably not.

Winning the chairman's award means your team has made it in FIRST. The award means very little but the journey you took to it means everything.

Championships are more exciting because it happens so fast. Teams can become champions after having a hard Friday. Or you can make a run at it with little experience. My team was ranked 1 in Archimedes until our last match and you know the teams that came out of there. Given a little luck and minus a tip and we could have been competing for the championship.

But we are even on the same level as some of the chairman's winners. Maybe a couple more years and we will be.
