Standby teams travel to the site of the ICT and will replace teams that cancel at the last minute or who fail to arrive at the tournament site. There is no guarantee that teams on standby will have any chance to play, but in previous years at least one standby team has been invited to join the field. Teams that come on standby who do join the tournament field will pay no entry fee. Teams that come on standby and who do not join the tournament field will be expected to assist as needed in the running of the tournament; they will also receive free copies of the questions used at the tournament as well as free Intramural questions for the following year (cost $300).
