Re: Submitting Chairmans?

The ultimate goal is to win the CMP CA.
Regardless of which regional you enter in, its not about "giving" others the CA. Each and every team should have to make strides in earning it.

Sure, there are strategies on where to enter and who is entering, but it doesnt stray away from the fact that the best team can and should win based on the judges collaborative opinion.
To have an opinion that a team doesnt merit having one again because they won before is not fair to anyone.
People seem to forget that teams that win work the hardest vs the others that dont and complain about it.

There were years where we felt disappointed in not winning. BUT, our attitude has been to look at what the judges point out as areas of improvement, and work towards being better and seeing the "big" picture on why you do FIRST to begin with.
