I would hate to have the team rewire the whole thing during a competition because of a research mistake.

The connector is rated at 15amp. You're not actually going ot be putting 15 amps through it. There's no rules preventing you from using connectors rated for higher currents than required in your application.
My guess is that the 15A connector was suggested because it's the smallest gauge connector available for the power poles. You're likely to have trouble crimping a larger connector on such small gauge wires, and if you succeed without breaking the wire, you're likely to have failures down the line.
