Two things have been happening annually in FRC:
1. More teams are added every year.
2. Earning CA at any level gets more difficult.

Perhaps poorly thought out/worded. It's not that there aren't tons of deserving teams out there. It just feels inconclusive, what if one region becomes/is stronger than the other? Maybe this won't happen, i'm not sure.

There is a big difference here... Districts isn't the final stage here. It's also not what I was saying. My gut reaction was that previous winners accomplishments would be losing value due to more awards being given yearly, not that teams winning would feel like their win is cheap.

Then again as we know winning becomes harder and harder each year, maybe after a few of the double award years winning the award at the event will have been harder than championships now.

After some further thought multiple HOF teams is probably not an issue.

This is also separate from chairman. All three teams have to work together to get the win. Still hasn't been a year where one team can 100% solo carry.
