It's rather specific to 802.11 wireless communications.

At the Florida FTC Championship, we had to delay the finals match because a handheld gaming system was causing interference.

The result, the field crew now has scanners, and volunteers are sent into the stands to locate where there interference is coming from, and request the device be turned off. If the interference comes from and the stands of FRC field, they must comply too.
How else could they enforce compliance with people who aren't super involved, haven't read the rules, and are unknowingly violating them? I'm mainly referring to mobile hotspots, since I doubt anyone who isn't heavily involved would bring a router to an event.
