I would suggest having one "president" (the title does not matter but one person must be identified), who is willing and able to make a final decision in the event that the other members do not agree. Also, I understand your thought that mainly the veterans decide, but remember that rookies can have good ideas. If any person or a group of people are disregarded, they will become detached from the team. Make sure that ideas are not dismissed or overruled, but that a different idea has been shown to be more suited to your team and its goals. Lastly, avoid arguing "Larry's idea vs. Rob's idea," instead, discuss "shooter vs. dumper." By connecting people to an idea, they are less likely to see it as deciding which idea is a better option, and more likely to see it a personal battle.
