I've never heard of a team doing it in the first case, and to me, it sounds like a huge disadvantage to do that.

Still incredibly against the change of eliminating feedback.

Wow. I thought allowing a silent mentor in the room was going to be in addition to the three student presenters. That is definitely a negative change given the removal of feedback. I should have read this bit of the manual more carefully. I also see that if you extend your presentation, it cuts into Q&A time.
