What's the main reason why you teams keep track of it? Travel?

For us, it's an official attendance record to earn class credit, and the student with the most hours is recognized at the end of the season. It's also a sanity check.

We set some basic minimum standards to travel with the team and attend events. For us it's 40 hours. Theoretically the team meets 100 hours in a build season, but we always end up adding more meetings than that, so students need to be there about a third of the possible time to travel.
