They are mutually exclusive at a given event. Some Chairman's Teams win EI at a different event where they didn't apply for Chairman's. This year, 357 won EI at Florida, then Chairman's at Philly. At some regionals, EI is given to the runner up for Chairman's.

I think of Chairman's, Champion & WFA like baseball's Triple Crown rather than Horse Racing. The 3 categories (AVG & HR & RBI) are loosely related like CA CMP & WFA, unlike Horse Racing where the 3 races are the very similar (different distances, but pretty much the same horses).
