How Many Threepeat Chairman's

[falconmaster]

Does anybody know how many three time regional chairman's winners there are in the FIRST community? I think KoKo Ed might know this. Anybody?

Geez, now I'm like some all-knowing all-seeing FIRST sage who lives in the moutains waiting for students to venture upwards to my home to ask me if there will ever be a water game....

I feel like team 503 is one of them: i seem to remember them winning at least 3 times.

[Koko Ed]

Jane pointed out to me 79 has won it five years in a row!

[Conor Ryan]

I know:

• 341 won it at different regionals in 03, 04, and 05
• 365 has won it 3 times in 06, 05, and 02

But are we talking 3 times or in a row because if it wasn't for MOE or Miss Daisy one of them would be up there with Krunch. Phili is probably the best Chairman's competition with 341, 357 and 365 duking it out.
The next best one I can think of is FLR where 340 and 1511 are neck and neck for the award.

Actually, 365 won it in 06, 05 and 02
In 03, 341 won it at Philly, and 357 won it at MD (where 365 applied). For more background on the Philly Chairman’s teams check this post

Also, 236 Techno Ticks has won it 4 times (3 in row at CT).

They have been mentioned earlier in this post, but here are the teams I know of that have won on 3 different years (if you count winning 2, regional & championship, in the same year, the list grows by several teams):
79 (5 years in a row, variety of locations including Florida, Denver, and Las Vegas)
236 (not sure years/locations)
341 (2003-2005, Philly & Chesapeake)
365 (2002, 2005-06, Philly & Pittsburgh)
503 (WMR & GLR)
842 (2005-2007, Arizona)
1002 (2004-2006, Peachtree)

As for the most competitive Chairman's regional, Ed, add VCU to your list. In 2007, VCU had 27 Chairman's applicants, including 3 2006 winners (384, 612, and 1002), each of whom has finished in the Top 10 at the Championship level before. 116 also received full "currently strong" marks and no "needs improvement" marks. 435 has also won the RCA in the past, and submitted there.

When I heard about the Chairman's field at VCU, I was in awe. It must have been very difficult to be a judge for that one. 116, 1002, 384 and 612 are all teams that deserve an RCA.

Another team at Philly that is often overlooked on CD is Lansdale Catholic Team 272. They won WFA & RCA in Pittsburgh (2004?). They have one of the most enthusiastic, hardworking, and helpful teams in FIRST. They also do very well on the field each year.

Don't forget 433 either.

Typo. fixed

[falconmaster]

All that info is incredible! I knew the CD community would be able to list them all. So it seems that there are 7 teams that have done it consecutive or not, and same regional or not.

Any predictions on what team will have a good shot for the national title, and why.

We are still new at this and are trying to learn what we could do next. Thanks all.

Following up on Brian's post, MOE did not submit a Chairmans Award entry for 2004. We had a number of program ideas for the organization that were in their infancy (MOEmentum, MORE, 501(c)3 development, FLL tournament, etc.), and it was appropriate for our team to focus our resources on what we needed to do to develop, grow and sustain these young programs. That "year off" from having a Chairmans team has significantly helped our organization, and has given us a stronger foundation to accomplish our goals.

1511 beat us to it this year, We have CA, CA and EI from 05, 06, and 07, respectively.

I'm talking about for years to come.
Both teams will probably be trading the award back and forth between them for as long as they still qualify for it.
