Not quite, but close enough. Surrogates are needed if the number of robots times the number of rounds is not divisible by 6.

In order to have 6 robots in every match and still have every team play the same number of official matches a small number of "surrogates" are assigned in certain matches (looks like their 3rd match this year). These teams participate in the match, but it does not count for or against them in the standings, the match only counts for the non-surrogate teams.

It is always the team's third match in which they might be a surrogate.
