The risk exists that a partner may bail out before a round for various reasons. Should this happen, the remaining team member may seek out a replacement partner, with the following restrictions: a partner can only be replaced once during the ToC, a replacement may not be brought in after the second round, a replacement must be found before the end of the first week in the round, and the original partner must have either made a public statement withdrawing or the remaining team member must have ten days or more without contact.
