Substitute Teams

• If your team is interested in serving as a substitute team (in the event of an uneven number of competing teams), please email Lourdes Morales or (213) 316-2125.

• This means that during a given round, your team that is not presenting may participate in a practice round against another team. There is no additional fee to participate as a substitute team. We cannot guarantee that any school will have the opportunity to provide a substitute team. The substitute team's scores will not count during the competition and will be considered practice only.
