Not sure how big of an issue this is because 4 teams can probably muster up enough people to scout matches.

There's also a big difference between a driver being able to watch the match of a team they have to defend, versus a scout watching that match and relaying that information via a phone call or a text message.
GUS had about 8 kids total at the Championship; this would have been a huge problem for us if we advanced past the quarters.
