Huh how come the tracer didn't get a spot even though he helped them so much?

Subaru (the tracer) might have lost his seat to either of the other Elite 10 chefs who didn't automatically become Elite 10 members; Satoshi, Terunori, Souma, Takumi or Megumi. He could have lost his seat to the people who won their seats later. So anyone from Akira or Ryo or Alice or Etsuya or Nene.

Nah I don't think they had enough time to do a shokugeki or they would've mentioned it. And the rest already had seats automatically except the 3rd years who were probably offered the seats since they are great chefs despite being on the opposite side
