I think we've raised in this thread whether it should be the sole carrot. Personally as a mentor, it is not the carrot that leads me to do the work. I would consider not submitting for Chairman's but would not (unless students had really good reasons) stop continuing to host FTC events, mentor FLL teams, and plant tulips at our school. These activities allow me to teach students how to be organized, how to be a leader/mentor, and how we affect our environment/how "it's-not-easy-to-just-plant-tulips".

...

Since I still advocate for solving 2), I also hope he takes my advice and tries to judge or convinces others to judge.
It is great that you have a more thorough training process for the Judges. It would be great if more of FIRST could follow your example, especially if it is a matter of saying a few more words. Perhaps you can provide your training materials to the FIRST.

Please be aware that the awards are also used to generate support, financial and otherwise, for the teams from their schools and sponsors, whether or not the team members are truly motivated by those awards.

Yes, being able to recruit more Judges (and other volunteers) and retaining them would make everyone's experience much better, including the Judges and volunteers. Being able to recruit and retain volunteers is a problem that FIRST, like many other volunteer driven organizations, must solve.
