>1 alliance captain for a team?

Competition Rules/Strategy
#1

I was watching highlight videos today and noticed more than one alliance captain for for a team during alliance selections. Is this really allowed? I had the understanding that only one person was allowed and confirmed this in the rules. But I may have missed an exception somewhere. Does anyone know for sure?

This is great if it’s allowed. It would help so many nervous alliance captains. I can also see a senior captain having a younger member tag a long for experience.

Here’s the video. http://youtu.be/strKAK_xbuo?t=1m20s

Is one of the students possibly deaf or blind (or some other disability)? Q443 is from a different team, but that could at least be a possibility (in my mind) for having two representatives on the field.

I was there: the girl has issues reading numbers so the guy went out to help when she needed it

Thank you for the answer. That is great to see/read/hear.

At Rock City one captain tried to send two students to make selections and was told they could only have one. It’s good to hear that appropriate exceptions can be made.
