Granted these people do not make choices based on how it will look to an awards committee, they do what they do because they believe in the message of FIRST. Reducing the number of these awards just leaves us with less to celebrate.
The way I've always looked at it is that it is irrelevant to send more than one Woodie Flowers Finalist to the World Championship from the District Championship. Only one person can win the Championship Woodie Flowers award, so why send three or four from your district when you can just send the best one?

But that's just my opinion, I get the idea of celebrating all of the wonderful people involved with FIRST, but that's why all of the nominees are called down at the district event that they are nominated at, and (at least in the past in Michigan) all of the Woodie Flowers nominees are called down to the field at the District Championship before the winner is announced.
