Each team is required to be accompanied by a full time employee representative from their university. In the event an employee is not available, CPTC is willing to work with the team on a case by case basis to help identify an alternate coach, such as a mentor or employee from a local company that is formally delegated by the unviersity as the coach.
During the competition, Coaches may be asked to participate or support some activities, such as helping to grade inject presentations, at the direction of the NationalCPTC representatives and directors. In this case, as an example, Coaches will not be allowed to score their own team.
