It's not easy, some teams don't think they are going to win twice or don't know that they are up for the award again.

As for winning a regional, that should be left alone. I know some people are going to say, "if you don't let someone win an award twice but let someone win a regional twice, then thats not fair." But winning a regional is different. You might of been picked for an alliance, and helped two other teams win that might of lost in the Finals without you. At West Michigan, three teams that have never won a regional before, won it and teams 85 and 27 have won regionals in the past.

This is a difficult subject to talk about. People will always have two different opinions about everything, and this is one of those things. Maybe letting them receive the award two or more times is right, and maybe not giving them the award twice is right. It's anyones guess what FIRST might do in the future, with or without any input from the teams.

And thats my, hopefully last, little rant about this subject.

I fully agree with you, I was using the points of how rediculous it is that anyone would say you shouldn't be allowed to win an award twice.
