On a side note I had no idea teams were not supplying their volunteers. What if the number they needed to supply was based on the number of students on the team. I'm sure enormous teams like HOT and Chickens can spare a few more hands than say Martians or other small teams can.

Perhaps this topic deserves its own thread. I have heard grumblings about teams not supplying volunteers and wondered about it. I think teams that don't supply the required amount should pay for the cost of people to replace their shortfall. Volunteers could be part of the price of entry.

However, that said, I and several on my team volunteer because we enjoy it and want to. Working with a "requried volunteer" that wasn't there for the experience would be a lot less fun for us and the teams.
