2136: Substitute Loader for League Event


Carla Diede (Event Partner)

<G4>

How does rule G4cii apply to a League Event? If a student from another Team A serves as a substitute loader for Team B, then they are classified as part of Team B for the duration of the event. Does this mean that the substitute loader must be a part of the Team B (the team they served as a substitute loader for) for the entire League, meaning all of the League nights (for example if a League will have 5 different nights that they compete)? Or is each League night considered a different event? We have a lot of three person teams and want to make sure we consider which option (G4c i, ii, or iii) is in a team's best interest to use if a student is sick or absent from one of the League nights, but will be there for the other League nights.

A League is considered a single event, regardless of how many sessions it includes. A substitute Loader provided to a Team through clause Cii of rule <G4> may only serve as a Loader for that Team for all sessions of that League.
