Chairman's presenters   
In generating State Rankings for both the Minnesota and Arizona State Championships in May, the only piece of 
information that I can't generate from the API is the list of teams that present for Chairman's (both states give points
 for Chairman's presentations to help encourage teams to pursue the award).  This year (and past years) we've had to 
capture this data manually, by having some volunteer at the event get a copy of the list and email it to us. Can this 
information be captured and presented on a per-event level? A simple list of team numbers is all that is required.

Re: Chairman's presenters   
Hi Jon,
If I understand correctly, you're interested in knowing not who *won* the award, but who *submitted* for the award? If 
so, that is something that is unfortunately out of scope for FMS and this API. That information is only used by Judges 
in their process, it never actually reaches FMS or our servers, and isn't something we have the ability to display.
Your best option, as you point out, is to ask for these details from people on site at the event if they are willing to 

provide it.

Re: Chairman's presenters   
I figured as much, but it never hurts to ask! Even if it isn't captured at the event, there must be a computerized list 
of teams that completed the online submission somewhere... Any chance we could get access to that? In my experience, 
it's rare for a team to submit online and then decline to interview (although it does happen)... Anyways, that situation
 is something we could potentially address of the data were available.

That data is kept in a secure Judges portal, which isn't something we can publicly expose (and FMS doesn't even "know" 
about that data, since there is nothing else that uses it- just the winners). Doesn't hurt to ask though!
