Add in another computer to act as a server, and that one is available as a place to get data from that just can't wait. Plus it's a spare unit available for transitioning fresh scouts in or swapping out a broken one on short notice.
That is especially important. More often than not, some other scouting management needs to be done, like reporting data or editing previous false data. A 7th computer is vital to keep electronic scouting seamless.
