Don't want to turn this in to a big issue but you don't really "knock-off" a true Chairman's Team. (any Chairman's team)
At Philly, while the adults on our team were busy feeling sad about not getting selected this year, a few of our students came to us and said they
wanted to help Team 357 get ready for their Championship interview. Not because they need our help, but because we respect them and they are our friends. I was filled with joy because it meant we were still a Chairmans Team at our core.
Every year that we won Chairmans I felt sadness for the great teams that did not get selected that year. Our overwhelming joy was always mixed with a sense of honor and respect for the other candidates.
It is a competition, but it is
a contest against yourself to do better each year. Not an opportunity to defeat someone else.
Congratulations to all of this years Chairmans Teams, We honor and respect you all!!
