Interesting that you do it this way: On the EWCP cast last night, the subject was brought up of 'coach driven' drive teams and 'driver driven' drive teams. I would like to see someone go around at competition (maybe I'll do it at FLR) and ask each team what their style is, then compare it to their final rankings (rankings, OPR, CCWM, etc...)

Each student on our team had to raise around $1,100 before kickoff and whichever students raised that much money were eligible. Only 4 people raised that much money so our drive team has pretty much chosen itself.

Well that's one way to get things done, right? Man. They really must have been motivated, I know I take my spot on the drive team for granted, and now here I am sitting trying to make up a way to pick the next driver team. This thread has greatly helped me in go about solving that issue!

It works for us.

In terms of coach driven or driver driven drive team, I feel like ours is driven by what the students want to do, and the coach is there to guide them. It's a good balance for us.
