What happened in 2009?

A second year team 2486 The Coconuts earned the Arizona Regional Chairman's Award.

It can be done.
Not to take anything away from 2486, but if I recall the 2009 rules correctly, all Championship CA winners were restricted from winning the RCA. Then again, that's still a tough field with a number of veteran teams that could submit. And the fact that 842 still submitted shows that they'll be winning it again--they'll have 5 years of practice when they're eligible again.

There is another streak that's probably about to be broken; 236 has 6 straight RCAs and finally got their Championship CA. This leaves the CT RCA up for grabs in a tough bunch of veteran teams.

So that's one other way to catch up: have your local team that keeps winning win the Championship CA. That'll give you a few years where it's anybody's award.
