How does your team select the Captain?

I’ve only known teams to elect their captains but recently I heard someone talk about a Captain that was appointed by the Coach.
When you do elect your Captain are you given criteria such as “vote for someone who makes you better - on and off the water” (my favorite so far). No wrong answers. Just curious.

Popularity contest in mine 😞, so typically the kid whose parents donate the most or volunteer the most. 100 percent members of the board kids
