I don't think it's the same. Maybe in practice it is, but you have not answered the concern that it represents no-one and thus has no place in the team match at all.

The point is that everyone represents a uni, even if an amalgamated team of lower dancers might not score, it's still hull/york or UEA/Leeds, not just "random dancers". "Random dancers" or "odds and sods" have no identity ...

at worst it's undesirable. In Oxford we have an intercollegiate comp and we allow partners from different teams. The points are split, so the disadvantage is that your total number is half of what it could be if you had a whole team. Give the SC veto power over it, and they can prevent abuse. Or make it non-scoring, i don't think that's a problem...
