Re: team captain picking

Our team has usually gone by a democratic vote for the captain for the current year, with some success and some problems over the last few years. Part of the problems were the lack of viable options and so the variance in how a team can be led was limited. Other problems were inexperienced captains being chosen because of lack of senior team members. I was chosen by our mentors at the end of build season my sophomore year, because or only two upperclassmen couldn't fulfill the time commitment.

What I'm trying to say is that all systems have their flaws, it would just be best to figure out what works best for your particular team.
