Question:
If there are 8 students registered for parli pro but only 6 take the Round One test-----do we only average the 6 scores to add to the final score OR do we add in two “0”s for the 2 students who will participate in Round Two but did not take the Round One test?
Answer:
Average the 6 scores and do not add in the zeros. The team then becomes the six people and six people compete in Round Two
