We (Blue Lightning) never really knew what the citeria was. Unfortently in many cases it came down to the preferences of the advisors this got messy as u can imagine. I'm interested in the fact that most teams seem to make it clear the # of kids that were going at the very begining. We always found the problem with this is the if we had 30 ppl and 20 were going then ppl would look around the room and start counting off the 20 that were going once they determined they weren't in the running they slacked off. On our team it usally wasn't hard to know who was going because there was typically a group of 15 that basically were going regardless these were the kids who were drivers/opps and usally the seniors that put a lot into the program...and then whoever else after that. Some might say well so what if the kids who didn't think they were gonna make it slacked off. Well the problem with that is they would do this after they already had candy to sell, or roles to play. To some extent all of this was cause by the very cliquey nature of the our team...the veterans were very intimidating to the new members. This was our expirence.
