I am not sure whether or not this is allowed for an official NAQT tournament. However, I am almost certain that that team is not eligible to qualify for nationals, and may not count towards the total number of teams at a tournament.

Regarding the discount for
"-$10 for each team that has not competed in an NAQT tournament in the past 2 years."
This only applies for OFFICIAL NAQT tournaments. Therefore, playing Baby Anteater does not disqualify a team for this discount.

Why don't we use UCLA's team optimization program?
