Re: Chairman's Award -- is the bar too high now?

While I will (and have admitted) that it shouldn't be a reason to strive for Chairman's, people do attempt to go for this award because it's so highly revered. Giving teams a "well, we still kind of like you" option may cause them to settle and not have to worry about always pushing that extra button. The worst thing you can do if you want to win CA is to fall into a comfortable pattern. CA should be hard, like everything else worthwhile.

Ask anyone on 2791 if we're satisfied with that Judge's Award we got in WPI.
