[FTC]: Two-Teams, One Qualified for Regionals, One Did Not...

Hi Everyone

I have two FTC Teams (8811 and 9256) in my Robotics Program here at school. Each team has a roster of 10 students registered in TIMS. Last weekend 8811 qualified for our Regionals but 9256 did not The Regionals are local so both teams are able to travel to the event. My questions concern managing my team's rosters as we move forward and I am looking for advice from coaches who have experience with managing this issue.

1. Can I legally change rosters at this point?
2. Should I change rosters and take a few kids off 8811 who aren't contributing/attending as much as some kids on 9256? If so, what is the best way to handle that?
3. How much and what type of assistance/help here at school can the 9256 kids contribute to the 8811 effort?
4. How much and what type of assistance/help at Regionals can the 9256 kids contribute to 8811's participation at Regionals?

MANY THANKS!
