Re: What member go to competitions?

Set out rules clearly at the beginning of the season; make sure all students have read them. Attendance, money requirements (I personally have a major distaste for a "pay-to-play" style program; require them to raise funds with the team's help instead. When we discourage members based on money, we fail horribly.), behavior and grades...make sure it is all very clear.

Work your hardest to design a system that does not exclude anyone, though. I cannot speak for others, but FIRST took on a whole new meaning when I got to witness the sights and sounds of a competition. Don't take that away!

My $0.02.
