Don't just tell them how to do it and walk away or leave it to them to research it... While self teaching is good, doing it during build season is not the time for that to happen. Each committee should be well trained before build season in what they have to do to have a successful team showing.
That is a great answer for those teams that have knowlegable mentors, coaches, and alumni. There are many young teams who don't have anyone who knows this stuff well, why not make things a bit easier for them?
