There may not be any channels left over with 8 fields going on!

Thats why the rule exists banning them. It has nothing to do with strategy, its simply to keep channels free for event staff to use. Like you said at a normal event there's various channels in use, and with 8 fields going on it will get even tighter. The last thing you'd want to do is stumble across a field channel, or worse the EMT channel and cause confusion.
