Ed's proposed work-around to scale the "Team Standings" totals for teams which played as surrogates seems like a reasonable one. Do you have a different suggestion?

My preferred solution is for FIRST to move to an all district model with 12 matches per event and therefore no more surrogates
Until then...
If we have complete Twitter data for an event then we get the component scores for every match so we don't have an issue.
But to solve the surrogate problem we just need the component scores from the specific surrogate matches. There are at most 3 of these in any competition and typically just 1 or 2 consecutive matches in round 3.
Since there is a single surrogate team in an alliance we just need to add the Twitter component scores to their "Team Standing" score to get the corrected total scores for that surrogate team.
