... is what I thought I would have heard during the Einstein rounds. Why did FIRST delay the announcement this year and not tell anyone? I'm not alone in thinking it's best to announce this during the Einstein rounds, right?

Most of the TBA viewers are pretty appalled too. The most prestigious award is being completely ignored.

But hey, Recycle Rush is more important, right?

If your watching from home, watch the stream and the chat for some commentary and opinions. I agree, this is disapointing on many levels.

On the awards section for Einstein on the FIRST website, CCA isnt even listed as an award...

Two things are wrong with this statement:

1. It did not end until 7:00 PM
2. They did not present FIRST's most prestigious award

Many teams decided to skip the concert and instead start their long bus rides home, and now they have to miss the Hall of Fame presentation. I feel bad for all of the teams that had dinner reservations, to...

Einstein started over 1:30+ later than expected.

Is there a feed for the closing ceremonies anywhere?

I'm hoping it's the same one as the Einstein feed.

It was really that long? I gave up and had to go after 30 minutes of delays....

Can someone please fill me in on what's going on (or went on) with Chairman's at the Championship 2015. Many of us are confused. Is it later, did we miss it? Is it not happening?

Nice team name by the way

So far, this event has been spectacular from our viewpoint. We've been a little confused about the timing of events. I agree that it would have been a better idea to announce chairmans on einstein. However, I'm not going to call it stupid or judge the entire event by that one issue.. Make sure you mention that change in your champ survey.

Dance party is right. They're having a dance off near the stage.

Being presented now.
