Example:
Let's say the state champion of Maharashtra is ranked #3 on the India Leaderboard but is unable to attend the event. In that case, the next highest-ranked state champion—let's say the state champion of West Bengal, who is ranked #13—would take their place in the showdown, ensuring that all 12 seats are filled and the competition remains intense.
