I didn't mean they have to officially "re-qualify" it just seems like that's what we are making them do by having them submit for the chance to win the award. What do the other teams that are in the HoF think about themselves when a year ago, they were all on the same level, Championship Chairman's Award Winners and HoF members. Now one of them wins? Are they above the rest now?

This just doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense.

1. I don't like the new criteria.
2. I don't like it because the reasoning hasn't been explained.
3. I agree with Andrew about the HoF teams having to submit without getting anything.
4. This (#3) may be why there's a possible return to RCA eligibility.
5. The sooner somebody explains why, the happier I'll be about this.

It's not that I think it's a bad idea (which I'm still unsure about), it's that I want to know why this is going to be the case.
