You think of Chairmans as an award.
Therein lies the mistake.
Winning Chairmans is, instead of a free ride to Nationals, a huge responsibility. What FIRST bestowed upon 103 this year was the responsibility of being a figurehead for other eastern seaboard teams, giving them the responsibility to lead teams to help FIRST grow.
This is exactly why I agree that Chairman's Award winners should have the privilege of going to nationals every year. FIRST looks so highly upon past award winners (as Gope pointed out as well), with good reason. These winners are in FIRST's mind, role models to every team. Certain traits and attitudes are passed down in FIRST teams, just as they are in families. Because of this I refuse to believe any team that won a Chairmans in the past could change their teams ideals so much that people would say they don't deserve that go to nationals anymore. If you look at any team that has won this award before you can see them still making a difference in their team, their community, and the entire FIRST community. Coming from one of these teams I know first hand how much responsibility and respect they are given. In my mind this whole debate shouldn't even be an issue.
