Re: Chairman's and such...
Questions are different for every team as far as we have found. Some may be similar across teams, but they generally come up with more specific questions based off of your essay and presentation. So make sure there are things that spark their interest and make them want to know more.
We have gotten some good and bad questions.. one question was "what awards have you won"... that one was kind of annoying because we thought they got that from all the judges info ahead of time and we didn't think it was relevant to being a CA team. So we started putting a list of our awards in the packet we hand them so we can quickly brush over the topic and get them to ask better questions.
Others were more specific: tell us more about project girl wrench, tell us more about how you run a demonstration, tell us more about your FLL involvement, who organizes your community service events? who came up with the idea for your integration meetings? etc etc.
Basically just know your stuff, know your team, know your essay...
They tend to be most concerned with the last three years, so it makes it a bit easier on student presenters, in theory you can have students that were there for the last three years.
Another thing I thought of is that Judges are often given time ahead to go do research on your team, and the easiest way to give them more info is THROUGH YOUR WEBSITE!! So make sure your website tells your story, and tells why you should be a chairmans team.
