I worked as scorekeeper last year which meant that I was watching the bandwidth during matches. Last year, the stated limit was 7 megabits/sec. Very few teams reached that but there were several who went over 8 and one or two teams I saw that could suck down 20 Mbits/sec.
All other things being equal, even with 6 teams each consuming 20 Mbits/sec that shouldn't saturate the WiFi network. That much traffic would barely register as a blip at the Cisco box that's managing the routing. In all cases when I brought up excessive network usage, simply asking the team to adjust their camera settings brought the usage down. Just because your camera can transmit at 1080p 60fps doesn't mean that your display can even manage to show you that.
