Surrogates are needed when the number of teams at an event are not evenly 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.

EDIT: Thanks for the correction Gary, it should be number of teams times number of rounds.
