At Midwest, one of our three judges was taking notes, one was going through our paper, and the third was timing our presentation and making eye contact. I'm interested to know how it worked out with the timing of your presentation if they stopped you in the middle to ask questions - we were cut off at 5 minutes exactly, much to the chagrain of my partner. When we were answering questions, though, the judges would often stop us and ask more questions about our answers - we ended up talking off of an original question for probably about a third of our presentation, but it felt more like a conversation than a question-and-answer session, which was nice, because my partner and I were *really* nervous at our first Chairman's presentation ever!
