North Hollywood signed up two teams, not one

Did Arcadia A & B fall into a worm hole on their way over?

[Eddie]

I believe they offsetted each of their teams because their full A & B teams weren't present.

We did the same thing for DN-QT this year. It's partially because we don't like having to email various quizbowl pundits about not being at full strength, but mostly because there's been an in-joke about Chris Chiego getting mad at inappropriately-named Arcadia C teams ever since our A-team was an hour late to a UCSD tournament due to traffic. They switched places with our C-team to take advantage of a first round bye.
