During the early years of Team SPAM, we would take anyone who was even slightly interested. Then again, that was when we struggled to find 20 students interested.

That worked until last year when we had more than 50 students going in to the build season. We had to make a cut off based on time, but found that many students were left out that maybe shouldn't have been.

This year we had over 100 students, initially. Therefore, we are trying a different approach. Students who choose not to participate in pre-season functions (fundraising, meetings, etc.) are first dropped. To travel to the competitions, students have to meet some basic requirements and then have to vie for work assignments on the travel team. Basic requirements are adequate grades, and at least 50% participation.

I don't know how well this will work. We are trying to be fair to anyone interested in being on the team and willing to work. I guess we'll find out at the end of the year when the students get a chance to tell me what a lousy job I did as team leader.
