That the champions are easily found and the Chairman's Award winner impossible seem at odds with FIRST's message that the Chairman's Award is the highest honor a team can win.

They will do it eventually.
Did you notice how fast the Einstein stage got torn down after the final match? All the computers, especially those that run the Scoring database, were all torn down in minutes. Also the master server back in the Inet tent was being disconnected.
This year and prior, the database FTP'd static files for match results and seeding. We have suggested plans for improvement- mainly dealing with live inserts of the award winners, or better? yet pushing the award winner records to a real-time server and time-releasing the data. This way the results can be pushed before the massive tear-down, yet later that night, say 9pm, all the award winners can be seen on a website, paged to your celphone, queryable via ODBC, or whatever....
