So you have a few extra. I know from the fields I've volunteered on they had a few extra. The goal here is to require less than 200% of the volunteers.

I envision this as being done with a single scoring table, connected to two sets of field hardware. I agree, walking back and forth would be silly. The two fields would need to be connected in order to generate sensible rankings anyway.

CMP already has no ability to easily switch over to "play on another field". Yes, technically Einstein sits there set up, and they keep a spare field on a truck in the loading dock, but the reality is that to switch anything like that out is a non-trivial operation.
As long as the sequence of the matches is respected, match separation should be unaffected by playing through on the working field.
