I'm printing out your cheat sheet diagram right now.

Now, since the Audience picks for the Spot #3 requires that both sides get exact duplicates (and the Low Bar in Spot #1 are always on the field in spot#1...The total of Defenses pcs. required for each field are 18 total pcs. and there are only 10 on the field at any one time, which leaves 8 pcs. to be stored off field all the time (extras are usually stored out of camera range so the field/arena area appears uncluttered, and for associated safety of participants and crew moving about constantly).

Can you tell us how many pounds daily will be lifted and moved, and exactly how far the reset/Defense Co-Coordinator crew will have to lug those from field to storage and storage to field every match all day please? Inquiring minds with bodies getting older daily just wish to know. LOL. (At least RR last year conditioned our bodies for Stronghold by movement of hundreds of game pcs. onto/off the field repeatedly, and thousands/thousands of lbs. lifted over each event, after event, after event). Deja Vu anyone?

But, the view of the field in action up close is amazing! So, the labor is gladly volunteered and the food is usually very good, the company of others to die for.
I just wanted to second this. I am so excited to be working the field for various events for this game!

I think I am Defense Coordinator at least once, so I am already planning on putting this in a sleeve and writing on it with white board markers OR printing out and laminating the pieces and having them velcro into the positions.

These are the things teachers who volunteer think about.
