Wildstang doesn't have an application process, we take everyone, which is why we're such a big team. But we keep track of students' attendence, participation, and contribution, and use those in the decision of who goes to competitions. I personally view the competitions (especially Nats) as a reward for a student's hard work, so I wouldn't recommend anyone to go that didn't make a significant contribution to my sub-team. Fortunately I had a great group of students and all 3 were given the option to go to all the competitions.

I'm still on the fence when it comes to an application process. It's a good idea because it cuts out students who wouldn't put forth an effort on the team. But it may mean that you cut a student who could really benefit from the program. Tough decision that I'm sure every team has considered.

Mike
