[Riverdance]

We have no policies regarding who can join and who is allowed to attend our meetings (for example, one of our member's girlfriend is known to drop by meetings and competitions on a regular basis and help us out, even though she's not an official member of the team). However, we take attendance extremely seriously and various aspects of the team experience are off limits unless you meet a certain attendance criteria.
To be considered officially in the records as a member of the team, one must have cumulative 60% attendance at team meetings (Sundays, competitions, and extended meeting times are extra credit, so some members might have in the ballpark of 140% during build season). There also used to be a rule that members with less than 60% attendance would at least have to arrange their own ride to competition, but with a recent lack of scouters that rule has been left relatively unenforced.
Running for a management position or trying out for the drive team requires an attendance rate of 85%, which is rather inflexible. Rarely are there exceptions granted to this rule, whereas the former is pretty flexible. Exceptions may be given to the former if you were very sick, grounded, or an extremely dedicated member who had an intensive prior commitment. (I'd also like to add that while you might get an official exemption for showing up late to every single Sunday meeting because you had oboe private lessons, you will still be made fun of and asked to remind everyone what time this meeting starts.)
