As Wayne said, to suggest that a one year win could win Championship chairmans defeats the whole point of the award.
Joe, but you also have to look at the wording in the MANUAL this year.

5.4.3Submission Information
The criteria for the 2007 Chairman's Award are essentially identical to those in 2006, with special emphasis on recent accomplishments in both the 2006/2007-year and the preceding two years. The judges focus on teams’ activities over a sustained period, as distinguished from just the six-week design-and-build time frame.
The FIRST Robotics Competition is not about machines; it is about the experience of people working together toward a shared goal. Documenting and preserving your team’s FIRST experience becomes an important component of the over-all FIRST experience.
As in the past, teams may only submit at one Regional competition for judging. Teams submitting for both the Chairman’s Award and the Woodie Flowers Award should note that both awards are judged at the same event. Students working on the Woodie Flowers Award submission and those team members working on the Chairman’s Award submission should coordinate to select the best event for the team.
5.4.3.1Submission Content
The Chairman’s Award is presented to the team judged to have created the best partnership effort among team participants and which best exemplified the true meaning of FIRST through measurable impact on its participants, school, and community at large. There is no single “best way” for a team to win the Chairman’s Award. Many factors come into play. The
primary factors the judges will evaluate are:
1) How strongly does the submission document the impact FIRST has on the learning experience of the students, school curriculum, engineers, and/or community during the 2006/2007 team year as well as in prior years?
2) Has the team explained/demonstrated why/how it should be a role model for other FIRST teams to emulate?
3) How well has the team communicated its excitement and impact within the entire school, community, and beyond (state/nation) through participation in FIRST during the 2006/2007 team year as well as in prior years?
4) Has the team documented an innovative way to spread the FIRST message?
5) How strong of a year-round team partnership effort is reflected during the 2006/2007- team year as well as in prior years? (You can define partnership in many ways, including: the partnership among the team’s students/corporate sponsor/engineers; school/university sponsor/engineers; students/adults; community/team)
6) As a whole, does the content of the documentation exemplify the true meaning of FIRST?
Your Chairman’s Award submission should include documentation for all the above factors.
