If we did not win the championship in 2000, it would not have been as easy to pursue our sponsors Bristol Myers squibb to sponsor 6 more teams in the region and fund the NJ Regional. So winning the championship made a huge difference in the whole community, and it was a team effort. The drive team learnt the game and the field, the scouts did their job scouting, the pit crew did their job repairing, and the volcano crew did their job cheering. The whole team was active. Yes, I know you can argue that chairmans is like "working behind the scenes" but winning the championship made a huge difference to our community which was otherwise kinda hard. Our team has been helping out in our region just because its a good experience. As D.J.Fluck said, all of us are guilty of wanting the chairmans as if its a bribe, I think he is kinda right because a part of our team does do it for that reason. My vote goes for Championship because I have seen it has a major impact in the community.
