That is what I understand as well, although second year teams never really won a Championship Chairman's Award nor did Rookie Teams after 1993. Several teams including mine have won the RCA in their second year, I seem to recall 1002 winning it the same year we did and we were all 2nd year teams, I am not sure how common it is now as they have the previous two years as criteria, but from the couple of teams that have already won it in their second year they prove me wrong in that statement. I think they introduced the Regional Chairman's around 2003, possibly 2002 but that is just a guess as well.
