I'm really one the fence with this one. We won both this season, and with the Chairman's, it was really nice to be rewarded for all efforts to help bring FIRST to many different high schools.

However, when going out into your community, whether it's for sponsorship or just to spread the word on your team, a championship always looks better in that sense. People outside of FIRST don't really know what Chairman's really is, and often, there is not enough time in your short, minute long sales pitch to explain it to them.

To me, winning the Chairman's was a truly amazing experience because it not only rewarded work that we had done that season, but all the time and energy students from years before put into our team.
