In the real NFL, 2 teams get awards, the winner and loser of the superbowl. That's 6% of the 32 teams. 16% of teams that make the playoffs (12) get an award.
At the FIRST championship, a maximum of 52 teams get awards, and there are 988 teams total. That's 5%. 15% of teams that make the championship (340) get an award.
Also, 37% of NFL teams make the playoffs and 34% of FIRST teams make the championships.
Perhaps your time would be better spent creating more teams near Waterloo, and convincing other teams to come to Waterloo then complaining about the worthiness of Waterloo's award winners.
