I've seen a single CSA spend an entire afternoon with just one team who was having some odd control system issues (and I was there working with them half that time too)... Without other CSA's we either would have had to abandon that team to help others or leave others waiting indefinitely.

Most of those positions need some level of experience as well. We can't just throw people into them with no on-site Training from someone experienced.
Thanks for looking at them! Once the season is over, I'll certainly want to take a second look at them.

With the amount of requests for programming support I've received from MN teams this year, I certainly don't disagree with you when it comes to more than 1 CSA...
