2010 Chairman's Award Winners

[Pjohn1959]

Congratulations to all the teams who have won RCA this year, and good luck in Atlanta!

Here is the list that I have so far for this year's competition. If I have made a mistake, please let me know.

What I am wondering is, since this was the first year that HoF teams who had won prior to 5 years ago could submit again, I don't see any of them in the list. Does anyone know if any one of these eligible teams did submit this year, and where?

1902 won at Florida, I think it was their first time.

Yeah it looks like a few regionals are missing from the list.

I wouldn't be surprised if there some HOF entries at the Connecticut Regional this year, but I'm not sure about entries at other regionals.

2543 didn't win chairman's in San Diego, team 1538 the holy cows did.

[E. Wood]

This may be a little off topic but I was curious as what to expect as far as the judging goes at the championship event. How much different is it from the award presentation at the regional event. I know that we still have a ten minute presentation and that it will still take place on Friday but are there any other subtle differences from the regional process?

From the Michigan Districts,

548 won at Kettering
85 won at Traverse City
226 won at Cass Tech
503 won at Ann Arbor
1718 won at West Michigan
27 won at Detroit (My team )
33 won at Troy

[Chris is me]

Odd observation: For the first time I can remember (paging through old similar threads), there are more winners with a team number over 1,000 than with a team number below 1000.

Oh, and 1124 won at WPI.

Not sure how you're counting this, so I wanted to clarify.
33 has won two district and 1 State Championship Chairman's. Not sure if we should count district and states as 2, only because it looks like double what you would win in any other state. But, if you want to give us credit, then I'll take it.

Yeah, I was counting each Chairman's equally, regardless of Regional, State, or District. Updated the Michigan section with a breakdown.

[Meredith Novak]

Team 16 was eligible to submit this year. We did not.

[Pjohn1959]

Thanks for the updates. I had all the regionals with the winners, but I guess my copy and paste didn't take all the info.

I wasn't sure on how the Michigan regionals were being scored, Thanks on that update. Do they award a state Chairmans' award at the Championship next week? If so, is that based on the previous winners, or is all teams eligible?

[Pjohn1959]

Newly eligible teams:
254
16
47
103
120
151
175
191

Not eligible:
236
842
365
111
67

The 7 Michigan teams who win a District Chairman's move on to compete for the State Championship Chairman's and must do a presentation, Q&A, and maintain a separate "Chairman's Pit" to showcase their efforts. The judges select 3 teams from the 7 to receive the State Championship Chairman's Award and compete down at Worlds.

[blayde5]

I'm a little surprised at the number of times a team can win chairman's o_0. I thought the judges don't really like to give the RCA to a team more than once or twice?
