Yes. Ours is based on attendance - the attendance requirement for lettering is higher, though. Also, there are different attendance requirements for build versus PR, due to the different schedules the two parts of the team are on (although there is some overlap). A student on the build team can "make up" excused time missed through participation on the PR team as well.

- attend a certain % of meetings (for the build team, this applies during build season. For PR, it's all year)
- Attend our competitions (there's some wiggle room in there for attending off-season versus regional events, for those students with unavoidable scheduling conflicts)
- Participate in our outreach and fundraising events (this goes towards our Chairman's efforts)
- Be a member for at least 2 years (We want to see continuity, as students are typically much more prepared and skilled after they've completed a season)
- distinguish yourself on the team (we have a number of leadership positions available, as well as positions with additional responsibilities for students to take on, all outlined in the handbook)
- Attend all required meetings (kickoff, recruitment meetings, end of the year clean up day, etc)
