The way this works at the regionals (unless they've changed it this year) is that your team will be issued four player buttons when you check in on Thursday, one of which is marked (usually with a dot) as the Commander/Coach button. In order to represent your team on the field, you must have the button on. The person with the Commander button can't touch the controls, even if they are a student. If you want to change who is playing in your next match, just hand off the button or buttons. It's very important not to forget them at the hotel overnight because you can't play without them (but someone does at every regional, every year and has to make an emergency run back to get them before their first match... save yourself some panic and keep track of your player buttons).
