This would mean we would only need to have 3 scouts working in the stands at a time. Is this a terrible idea? And more importantly, if we only scout a single alliance color through the day, should it be blue or red?
You could always record matches, and make copies for your scouters in the stand. That way they would have the ability to pause matches, and they could use the field setup time to keep watching videos instead of waiting to watch the next match.
