there are also slightly differentent variations of 1337, like the type you find in CS will be a bit different from say War3.

Yes. 19, 45, 126, 190, 191, 250.

And more. Lots more.

I doubt it's much of a coincidence that all the teams that have won the Chairman's Award are older teams. My view is that FIRST thinks there are many worthy of the Chairman's Award and the older teams are going to be the ones that are going to receive the honor first as they've waited longer. Frankly, I'm just happy that we aren't seeing the same Chairman's Awards Finalists year after year as seemed to be happening a few years ago.
