If there is a Wifi wireless network that can be seen and/or connected in in the stands/arena/pits at a competition, it's in violation of the rules. It doesn't matter where the router is located, who set up the network, or whether it has access to the Internet.
If you
really need to have a network connection for your scouting efforts, you will need to use 3G, 4G, or WiMAX networks.
