Alternate Students Policy
Teams may submit the names and permission forms for alternate students who can replace a team member if they are unable to attend the event. Once the event begins, the team roster is final. Students listed as alternates will not be allowed to sub in at any time during the event.
Private & Independent Schools: Registration is available on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited space. Schools may be limited to one team based on availability.
To support participation across Ventura County, we can accommodate up to 40 elementary school teams. Team allocations are determined by the number of elementary schools within each district (see the bracket chart above). Please contact your school district to confirm whether your school has an available team registration slot.
If your school is unable to participate in the county event this year, we encourage you to purchase the selected books and host your own Battle of the Books! This is a great way to bring the excitement into your school and encourage kids to read great books while having a blast. Our goal is to inspire a love of reading while giving students an opportunity to have fun and celebrate literature.
