How many alternates can each team have? In what way will the alternates be allowed to participate?
Each team is allowed one alternate who should be prepared to compete in the presentation part of the competition in the event one of the regular team members is unable to compete. At the District level, some Reserve Banks allow the alternate to witness the team’s presentation and participate in the Q&A session. At the national level, the alternate is a witness only and is not allowed to participate in the Q&A part of the competition. Some participating Reserve Banks pay the alternate’s travel expenses to the national competition.
