What Karthik is trying to get at is: If you win at a regional this year, instead of re-entering and winning next year, why not just stay in the running for next year and give someone else the chance to win at the regional level.
The problem is, if your mentor took 2nd place this year at nats, they have a very good chance of winning next year. Do you re-enter them at the regional level and let them win it again?
By offering this award at regionals they are attempting to recognize more people. But if the same people win it at the same regionals every year it completely defeats the purpose. Why not just leave the regional winners in the running for a two or three years and then make then re-enter. If you ask a mentor who won at a regional if they would like to be re-entered next year and take it away from another deserving mentor what do you think they would say?
