Re: Who should be the Captain??
I agree with what people have said above.
Make sure everyone know how important it is not pick the "cool guy" just because he's cool or to pick your friends just because they are your friends.
It is a very important role with alot of responsibility and it's very hard to do (you have to be at all almost all meetings and have extra meetings with the other team leaders).
if you really have a lot of people then you have to have an election. and even if you don't get picked you shouldn't be to upset, there are alot of other great stuff to do in a team.
just and idea I have: try having the elections at the 2nd week of the competition or later - that's when the true spirit of the person shows.
If you are the type that can lead your team, than they will know it by week 3, and they will choose wisely and not just based on friendship.
