I think this makes sense. Our team supposedly had a similar requirement...I forget what it was...but at the team dinner the night before the team leader talked about how many people still hadn't met fundraising requirements. The MS organization puts a lot of time and effort into the event...if a rider has raised no money then there's no benefit to the purpose for the event.
