No disrespect intended - just confused about what we were suppose to submit to whom.

Thanks for checking on this. I'm in a really awkward position here because we did submit to Chesapeake, along with many other teams, obviously. I've been dancing around, trying to inquire with gracious professionalism but I am so confused. It's hard enough trying to figure out where to submit (I always assumed that it was "good form" to submit to your closest regional, but maybe not) and then when a team wins who you didn't even think was eligible, it is so frustrating. It seems there are teams that have been finalists repeatedly over the years. I know the system has evolved over the years and continues evolving.
That said, Team 16 has a long history of being a role model and deserves to be recognized. I just wish that FIRST would help us understand the rules.
Rich, I'm really trying to get out of this thread, promise
