It depends on how you define access-- if it's FIRST actually providing field elements, then yes, no other kickoffs have access. If it's having access to the technical specifications, then no, any listed kickoff can have volunteers assigned as field builders, and those builders get access to the technical specifications of both the competition and team versions of the game elements. This is how those plywood elements show up at kickoff. Theoretically, any field build with access to the tools, money, and time to build the field elements could do it, but it's particularly difficult to find the latter during the holidays.
