Re: Duplication of programs as it relates to Chairman's

One of the criteria for the Chairman's Award is that a team is a
"model for other teams to emulate". This means teams shoud share their ideas and successes, and others should feel free to copy them, use them, and make them better.

If a team has used another team's ideas, then the team should give credit for that, possibly even saying,

"team 9999 did something like this last year. We researched what they did, and expanded and adapted it for our program...".

that would show that:

1) you stay in touch with what other teams are doing
2) you can adapt and adopt others ideas to fit your program
3) you are honest

Many Chairman's judges ask where an idea came from - teams should be honest about that.
