You should consider more of a combination of the above except for the GPA part. Put your team's activities into categories and then assign values to the activities. Then use the Attendance/Participation system like is used for band. Maybe a team member can't make 40% of his sub-teams meetings, but he is a cracker-jack at making sponsor presentations and does 15. He might not get the full value of points for his sub-team, but would get extra points for his sponsor presentations. That way each member of the team can really show their strengths.
The reason for no GPA requirement is that that should be already taken into account for team participation. Most schools have academic eligibility / ineligibility rules. If a less than stellar student is meeting those requirements to be on the team, he should be eligible for full recognition of his efforts.
