WorshipPlanning.com can help team leaders find substitutes for assignments that have been declined. When a person's assignment status is Decline there will appear a "subs" link under their name on the page where assignments are made. When this link is clicked, WP will open a window showing a list of available team members that are probably candidates for replacements. This list is also found in any Decline emails that are sent to team leaders as a part of assignment response notification emails.

The list is generated based on several factors, such as: availability, if the person has served in that role before, if the person has that as their default role, and if the person has that listed as a skill. Using these factors, WP scores each team member and lists them, starting with the most qualified (according to the scores).
