Boilermaker Match Count

Based on http://www2.usfirst.org/2006comp/Events/IN/matches.html

It seems each team plays an unusual amount of matches… Does match 52 have 6 surrogates??? Why even play that match?

Anyone have an explaination? There should never be a need for more than 5 surrogates in a tournament.

Maybe there’s supposed to be 54 matches? …so everyone plays 11.
