Had Kwiatkowski, Thompson, Powell made 96 team would they have sat out all events?

I am not 100% sure on the rules at the time but I do wonder if Kwiatkowski, Thompson, Powell, or someone else had made the 96 team over Borden would that gymnast have possibly sat out every event.

Kwiatkowski

Vault- weakest vaulter on the team (keep in mind she is replacing Borden, not on a team with her) no question.

Bars- definitely would not do bars on this team.

Beam- seems clear Chow is stronger than her on beam, and obviously the other 5 are doing AA. While Borden did beam over Chow, I doubt Tonia does.

Floor- again seems clear Chow on her tumbling alone is stronger on floor. Probably sits out here too.


Thompson

Vault- not strong enough to vault for sure.

Bars- lol

Beam- seems clear Chow is stronger than her on beam, and obviously the other 5 are doing AA. While Borden who was excellent and rock consistent on beam did beam over Chow, I doubt Jennie does.

Floor- not stronger than Chow or any of the girls on floor.


Powell

Vault- OK I could see her maybe vaulting. Then again Chow does a DTY so she still might have vaulted over her, and while she is stronger than Moceanu, Miller, and for sure Phelps on vault, are any of those really denied an AA shot?

Bars- Would miss out due to Chow being stronger here, and the others all being very strong on bars and owed an AA shot.

Beam- weak on this event.

Floor- Maybe she would do floor over Chow, and this would be her one event? Has the best shot of any of the three of doing an event.


Seems clear Mary Beth Arnold would do no events too. So basically Powell is the only one who might have made it and gotten to do an event or two. Floor probably and maybe vault too. The others would do nothing, unless the rules require all 7 to do atleast 1 event. I wonder if Chow might have qualifed AA now, unlikely since her compulsories were too low scoring, especialy compulsory floor.
