Many teams are going to continue to do great things and win on the regional level, but if there are 30 teams like any of the ones that have already won the championship award, then it will take a long time before they can all win it.

But not all of those 30 teams are the teams that win a regional every year, so they would not be a valid point in this discussion. Ill clarify my statement a bit.
Of the teams that win regional chairmans every, or almost every year, you shouldnt see them win more than a few regionals before they finally manage to break through to the chairmans level. There are plenty of team with the capability to win one year, but do not have as solid an entry as the next. Each team may not rest solely on its past laurels. The other teams that register an entry at each regional will have worked over the past year, so the "defending" team must be able to work hard and fend them off. Not many teams have that ability to be the best every single year. And of the few that do, they should eventually merit a championship chairmans award.
