Chairman's victories aren't exactly predictable, but teams know that they have been working hard on outreach and can somewhat see it coming. It's the unpredictability and sheer exuberance of winning a regional that makes me choose a Regional Championship over Chairman's.
I have to disagree with this. When they announced that we won Chairman's at NJ, it felt even better than winning the regional.

Like you said, Chairman's victories aren't predictable, but that, in my opinion, makes them 10x better. The surprise of winning it adds to the mix of emotions you feel when you win it.

Just wait until you're on a team that wins one...you'll see...
