Re: So who do you think is the favorite to win this years Chairman's award?

Nowhere in the manual does it state that the Chairman's Award has to go to a multiple winner.

Imagine Redateam has won the Magnolia Regional Chairman's Award for the past four seasons. Their program is a good one, one that registers a 9.1418 on Billfred's Change-The-Culture-O-Meter, which is known to be the best measurement of how worthy a team is to win the Chairman's Award.

Now imagine Bluateam, which recently won their first Chairman's Award ever at the Pinetree Regional. Their program registers a 9.7525 on the Change-The-Culture-O-Meter.

Assuming the judges can tell the difference without a Change-The-Culture-O-Meter (development was kinda sidelined by build season), who should have the Peter Gabriel played for them a second time this season?
Speaking of Peter Gabriel's "Big Time," I do hope they play it for the Chairman's winner in Atlanta. I mean, after hearing it in person or over the webcast for four weeks of regionals, not playing it just wouldn't feel right. ;)
