Re: 2008 Regional Chairman's Award Winners

So of all these great teams, who has the best chance to win the big one? My vote is for 236.

Re: 2008 Regional Chairman's Award Winners

What's the rule on Championship Chairman's Award elgibility teams? Is it ONLY teams who have won it this year??

Basically what I'm getting at is there are what, at least 41 teams in the running if it's only this years winners??

I think it's time to award more than one at the Championship Event.

Or limit how many a team can win at the Regional level.

There are some great multiple year Regional winners in every part of this country. Even if we were to only give the Championship Chairman's Award to the teams who has won more than once at a Regional level, we would still be here for 10 years.

As the number of teams in the program grows, so should the number of Awards based on Trophies.

In the long run, we have so many great teams at the Regional level that it's very proud to know that we have all these great teams in FIRST, but also at the same time very discouraging to see a team win (the same) regional multiple times in one year, and other teams who have great programs not.

I'd rather see variety on the C/A side of things than consistency in all honesty.

Just my 2 cents though.

I'm glad that once you win a Championship Chairmans Award you are ineligible in the future to win again at the Regional level.

I also know this is the (albeit twisted) reason some people are cheering on local teams - because they themselves are a little discouraged at seeing the same team winning over and over again, and can't wait till they have that Championship win which will force them to stop winning at the Regional level. I'll be completely honest - I'm cheering for 236* because of this very reason. (But I'm also not saying they don't deserve to win, as they have proved that they are C/A worthy time and time again by winning at the regional level - I just feel it's time to give some of these multiple regional winners their Championship Chairmans Award trophy, and move on handing them out to different teams at the regional level.



*I'm only singling out 236 because I've personally seen them be awarded the C/A regionally multiple times.
I know there are other teams who have done this as well, I just don't know numbers off hand.

Re: 2008 Regional Chairman's Award Winners

I'd say leave it as it is. that is what makes winning the Chairmans Award so great. to be one of the few teams to have won it and go into the Hall of fame.

Re: 2008 Regional Chairman's Award Winners

I’m on quite a roll. I was sitting with MARS in Florida and right behind Truck Town Thunder in Ypsilanti. Anyone want to invite me to the ATL?

This is the only year Team Fusion has won the Chairman's Award, and I would really love to go all the way. We have influenced the lives of over 500 people just within this past year.
Then you have already won what really matters.

Re: 2008 Regional Chairman's Award Winners

we got closed out of firstaward way before time, and we couldn't put in the chairman's award. We could have won.
