•Members and their backups serve for 2 years, unless someone new takes over.

•No one can serve more than 4 times in a row.

Example

Imagine a school club where kids are picked to be leaders.

The first time, half the leaders get to be leaders for 1 year, and the other half for 2 years. They pick who gets what by drawing names. After that, everyone serves for 2 years, but no one can be a leader more than 4 times in a row.
