While these awards may be slightly different, the point remains. Fantasy FIRST is about the competition, and CA is an award that is entirely removed from the competition itself.

I find it incredibly dumb that someone who picks a bunch of horrible teams, but manages to pick one team that has a chance at Chairmans, or honorable mention can swing the balance of an entire league, while someone who actually spends the time picking good teams throughout loses, because it's hard as heck to top someone who got a free 85 points or whatever.

You don't get points for the team winning or losing in Fantasy Football either, you get points for what the individual does, so does that mean we should remove champion and finalist as well?
In most fantasy sports, leagues are scored on around 10 statistics (that's the yahoo default for instance). IF you removed judge's awards from FF, that leaves you with 6 (W, L, T, Draft, seeding, and result). The awards serve to fill out the rest of the statistics.
Secondly, just because a robot does poorly, I wouldn't call them a horrible team, or even a horrible pick if they win Chairman's. Just because another league member spent time determining which bots would fair the best on the field, doesn't mean the other member didn't spend time on determining which teams have a better shot at judges awards. It's like picking a big yardage QB or a TD QB in a Fantasy football league (or batting avg. vs. HR's in baseball, etc.). Sometime's it is dumb luck, but that's true for any fantasy sport. Like when you draft a back-up running back in the last round and the starter gets hurt and your back-up goes on to a pro-bowl season.
