Wow. All members have to get that much? That's impressive. And I thought we really laid down the rules when we raised our hours requirements from 30 to 40 over last year. Although our most involved members get 300+ hours before competition season, how do you not scare any prospective students away with that requirement? We've been trying to find ways to expand the team without dissuading someone.
