Does anyone know
1) What the chances are of a team not showing at, say, UTC and a spot opening up
2) Who to contact if such an opportunity were to present itself.

Thank you.

You would have to contact FIRST to see if entering a second regional is possible -- though, in my experience, it's probably not possible.

The planning for these events takes place weeks and months in advance and relies somewhat on which teams are attending -- so sometimes it's not even possible to just take someone's spot.

Still, FIRST will give you a clearer answer than anyone here can.
