Re: Bringing a member from another team to competition

Great responses here by Greg Needel and Eugenia Gabrielov,

I'd like to add that our rookie team did "adopt" a member of another team, who became a big ASSET to our team and was warmly welcomed.

In fact, next year, I'd suggest that all teams look around their home towns to see if a non-qualifying team would like to fund/support team members being "ghosts" of your own team. Sure, there are all the usual issues of chaperoning, security, inter-team jealousy, etc.....but it's all called gracious professionalism.
