I've put together 2 fields and helped break down 2 fields as well. As a field supervisor you don't want to waste a full round's worth of time to break down a tower and put it back together. That's IF the anchors all cooperate around the tower base and everything goes smoothly. You also take the chance that something won't be connected correctly (or at all) when putting the tower back together...which would put you even further behind on the schedule. If the field can't be dissembled and reassembled in under 2 minutes, you should just be cutting the tube off the base of the tower. Now if the tube is up top, get the ladder out as soon as it happens so you're ready to go when the match is over.
