Most Chairman's wins

The Midwest Regional played it as the stands emptied this year and last year.
10,000 lakes (IIRC) played it before the final goodbye in 2010.

I think it depends on the regional folk, and I honestly think that its somewhat forgotten about by the groups that plan the awards ceremony. It seemed incredibly disrespectful to the winning team (at Midwest this year) because teams are trying to get a move-on by that point, and the winning team doesn't get their story told to the audience.

Regionals are supposed to play the chairman's video after the team has received their award, however, usually by then teams are itching to leave. In San Diego the past 2 years we have played it after closing ceremonies as people are walking out.

One of our students put together this file for 2012 RCA's, through week 4.

We will update it next week and then again after week 6.

It has tabs for Regional, FiM and MAR events.

Please list any corrections and we will keep the file accurate.

236 won 7 at New England events (Granite State, UTC New England, UTC Connecticut, and Connecticut are the official event names--I'm pretty sure that other than GSR (2003), they're all CT) from 2003 to 2009, then won the CCA in '09. To win seven, you must first win 5...

If a team is that great year in and year out, whether they get it this year, or the next, or the next.....they eventually will.

There is about 2 or 3 teams at most, that have a realistic shot at it.............and they know who they are!

How do teams know they have a realistic shot?

@Jane: I think teams like 1114 are the ones with a realistic shot at the CCA.

The ones who've won multiple RCAs on a consistent basis, over a number of years. There are only a handful of such teams in existence.

Yes, I get that. I was questioning Glenn's comment because Glenn made it.

Hi Jane,
Happy Birthday!

Honestly, it was just a personal opinion comment.
I got PM's from a couple of teams because of it though.

More that one Championship Chairman's? I don't know where you heard that, but I very highly doubt that would happen. The point of CCA is that you are the best. Not the 'eh, somewhere in this group right here.' You're the best, and you are that year's Hall of Fame inductee. I think it should stay that way.

FRC Game Manual Section 6.4.1

"Hall of Fame members; i.e., teams that have already earned the Chairman’s Award, are ineligible to resubmit for consideration for five (5) years. Teams that earned the Chairman’s Award at the Championship prior to 2007 are eligible to participate in 2011. Teams that earned the Chairman’s Award in 2007-2011 are ineligible."

My interpretation of this is that, because teams who won CCA prior to 2007 and eligible to submit for RCA this year, they would also be eligible for CCA again if they were selected for that honor.

She means one winner selected per year. (right?) I have to agree. You are the one for that year. Though then again, that's probably not really congruous with reality. I guess it's possible.

Yep, that's what I read.

There IS one team that has two CCAs, back when that was the only one awarded. They're also a sustaining team: 191, the X-Cats.

I'm sorry - I was interpreting Glenn's comment as 'they would give out more than one Championship Chairman's Award per year , not that you can win CCA more than once...

[Kpchem]

Oh, okay. In that case yes, I would agree with you, only one team should win the CCA per year. Sorry for the confusion on that...

Here is the updated file after week 6 regionals.

We will do another update after the FiM and MAR Championships next weekend and merge all of the teams that will present at CHP.
