Multiple Chairman's Awards

If I was to offer suggestions:
Regional Winner and a Runner up. Have both teams compete at the Championship thus providing an opportunity to improve and show growth throughout the season.

The problem with having a defined winner and runner up is the unlikelyhood of the runner up winning the national chairman's award, since another team has already been recognized as more qualified than they are.
Perhaps having chairman's recognition in several catagories- with so much criteria going into the award submissions, FIRST could have, for example, an award for the best community involvement, an award for the strongest team bond, or an award for the best sponsor/team relationship. That way, more teams can be recognized without 'cheapening' the award.
