The highest numbered champion has increases every year since 2003 (469, 494, 503, 522, 987), so it shouldn't be too much longer. You may also note that only two teams over 200 have won Chairman's (254 in 2004 and 365 in 2007, next highest is 191, and the youngest teams were started in 1997 [22, 67, and 103]). The last three Chairman's winners have also won the Championship event (365, 111, and 67), and 254 (2004) has been finalists twice (2001, 2005). The only other Chairman's team to win the Championship is 144.
