Yes indeed. It's in 9.3.2:

All teams will play the same number of qualifying matches except if the number of team
appearances (number of teams multiplied by number of rounds) is not divisible by six; in that case
the scoring system will randomly select some teams to play an extra match. For purposes of
seeding calculations, those teams will be designated as SURROGATES for the extra match. If
teams play a match as a SURROGATE, it will be indicated on the match schedule, and it will
always be their third match.

In the Midwest Regional match sheets that someone posted, there was a thin column marked "S" next to each team assignment. I presume those would be marked somehow to indicate the surrogate match.
Best of luck in the rest of the tournament.
