VUT7D reads as follows:
VURC Team members may only be on exactly one (1) VURC Team for the season. See <G4>.
G4 reads as follows:
Each Team must include Drive Team Members, Coder(s), Designer(s), and Builder(s). Many also include notebooker(s). No Student may fulfill any of these roles for more than one VEX V5 Robotics Competition Team in a given competition season. [...] Team members may move from one Team to another for non-strategic reasons outside of the Team’s control. Examples of permissible moves may include, [...] combining/splitting Teams.
Would is be permissible for 2 VexU teams to combine mid season to form 1 VexU team as long as they remain 1 team for the remainder of the season? Is it relevant if the teams have limited resources and would not be able to continue to compete otherwise throughout the season, thus the reasons being non strategic.
Rule G4b reads
> When a Team qualifies for a Championship event (e.g., States, Nationals, Worlds, etc.) the Students on the Team attending the Championship event are expected to be the same Students on the Team that was awarded the spot. Students can be added as support to the Team, but may not be added as Drive Team Members or Coders for the Team. [...] An exception is allowed if only one member of the Team is able to attend the event.
How does this rule apply if both teams have already qualified for the championship event? Additionally, for vexu, do the sections concerning "one member" apply to two members as the drive team doubles?
