Alternates
Alternates may play on the team if needed, may be put on the team at the coach's discretion, may play scrimmage games against an alternate from another school, may choose to play one scrimmage game then take the activity bus home, may choose to skip that match if not needed.

Results
Against Faithful Shepherd with a four-player team of mostly subs we managed to win 3-2.
Aidan lost on board 1 against a player who has beaten most of the other team's top players - including Metcalf A. But John won on  board 2, Dylan won on board 3, and Boomer who arrived after the other games had started was allowed to play on board 4 and won. Board 5 we forfeited. Round 6 we lost to Metcalf 5-0, but we don't have to face them again.
