Not entirely so,

So for now the plan is to have 5 or 6 teams share a single 20 amp circuit and they will have to supply a 40'-50' and a 15'-25' cord to plug into the spider boxes. Yes it will be minimal power and teams will not be allowed to use items such as shop vacs, large power tools like table top drill presses and band saws. They will also only be allowed to charge 2 batteries at a time.
