As a rule of ACM ICPC every participant should get a certificate even if his team solves zero problems. Ofcourse you wont get a certificate for travelling so far, I mean all the local teams will also get certificates. If you get a rank then that rank will be mentioned. Otherwise you will get an honourable mention certificate.

My team also qualifed for the coimbatore regionals.

Does your three member include the coach as well ? :-?
So you are saying, you have two contestants.

What is your team name?

In general there must be three contestants in the final round.

Some sites makes the rule that the coaches must also attend. So it is better to mail the regional contest director of that site to know whether coach needs to be present.

See the rules

I don't think you can make it with two members. But you can mail about coaches. There are even instances that one of the contestant himself is a coach. A person can be a coach with an authorization letter from the department and even teams can go without coaches. Depends on contest director.

Is there any reason as to why you have only two members in your team.
If you can't find any suitable 3rd member, why don't you take someone just to maintain the formality.

My team name is EWU Gouden Mengsel !!!
See you in Coimbatore. :)
