I can only speak from my own experiences as a VC, but my intent is always to have extra refs and scorekeepers so that people can take breaks. (Example, if FIRST asks for 4 refs I try to have 5 or 6, so that at least one can rotate in and give people a chance to sit down/take a break, especially considering sometimes events can run through lunch.) In that situation, it'd be very easy to put the one or two extras on scorekeeping. If an event is right-on-the-number, then yes - that's definitely more difficult. I'd love to hear other VCs/event people chime in as well on this, but in my head it's doable.
