Re: Backup Coupon Warning

I've been at an event where Backup #1 was, at one time, in the venue in the "backup holding pen". Backup #2 was also there.

Last match of the event, a backup is called in. Backup #1 is no longer in the "holding pen", and is not in their pit. Backup #2... well, they were ready to play, and took home a silver medal for their efforts.


I'd say, personally, that if you can't find a team, OR the team specifically says "We are not playing in eliminations", it's safe to assume that they are not available. Not being a head ref, I can't speak to any part of that process.
