I don't know if three regional Chairman's Awards is the right number, but I like the notion behind this -- FRC has grown very significantly since the HoF criterion was established. Maybe we need more than one new HoF team per year?
And as Sean pointed out, putting some of the stronger RCA teams in the HoF would make a little room for someone else to win an RCA, especially at mature regionals where the competition is very stiff every year.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
