Match cycles are almost never under 6-7 mins that means at least 4 mins of time between matches. Most of the time it's acceptable for one member of your drive team to talk to a referee or two during that time. I often try to talk to the field volunteers and make sure I thank them for volunteering and let them know anything we might be doing in that match if it's questionable or something they should pay attention too. They don't have to listen but building a report with field personnel at events is a good thing. Once you do it for your first couple matches you rarely need to remind them again.
Also, if enough teams start doing it, refs will just learn to look for it, like the human player bounce back inbound passes of 2014.
