Re: New Chairman's Award Eligibility
I don't get it.
One of the main reasons one would want to win the RCS is to have a shot at Championship Chairman's in Atlanta. As these teams would have already won it, they're inelgible there as far as I can tell (the rule doesn't say anything about HoF status dropping / whatever), so this would mean that teams of "Hall of Fame quality" would be denied judgement at Championship because a Hall of Fame team beat them at a a regional.
I'm pretty sure no Hall of Fame teams stop outreaching to the communty and in general beign Chairman's-calbier just because they've already won it for life, and none of them are only motivated to do such actions because they could win a trophy if they do but otherwise don't see the point.
If I understand it correctly, this could give teams like mine, who don't submit at regionals with Hall of Fame teams at them (as far as I know, sorry if I missed one), a much better shot at the national title than teams from regions with national winners. I don't think that's really fair.
I have a question for CCA teams: Would you resubmit for Regional Chairman's?
