I don't understand. Why would 14 rookie teams have to build a crate, if no more than 4 have a chance of needing one?

Are you suggesting that veteran teams bring empty crates to the regional and rookie teams make sure they have room in their transportation to bring a crate home with them? That seems a bit convoluted just to save a few hours of work, and it'll be more expensive to ship the empty crate back to the owners than it would be to buy the material to build your own.
