How Many Threepeat Chairman's

I wonder if a Regional Chairman's Award is equivalent to a "Runner Up" award, and if earning three or more should qualify a team for a Championship Chairman's Award?

I don't know if three regional Chairman's Awards is the right number, but I like the notion behind this -- FRC has grown very significantly since the HoF criterion was established. Maybe we need more than one new HoF team per year?

And as Sean pointed out, putting some of the stronger RCA teams in the HoF would make a little room for someone else to win an RCA, especially at mature regionals where the competition is very stiff every year.
