Re: National Championship or National Chairman's
I would choose a National Championship over Chairman award I think that from winning nationals you get publicity and therefore helps with the Chairmans award. Now let me elaborate on this a bit more. Last year as I reacall team 111 Wildstang won nationals. Later that next week if I believe they were featured on the CBS Morning News(i think). From that I'm sure in their interview they mentioned where they were from. So here their city is getting nationally known and Wildstang is spreading the spirit of FIRST. I'm not against the chairmans award infact I love the award, but i think that you accomplish more for FIRST on a national level if you win the Championship. When is the last time a team the won the National Chairmans award was on National Television?

sorry if it sounds confusing i can elaborate more if needed.
