During drive practice, we usually run for more than an hour at a clip except for some battery swaps.
While individual matches are not nearly that long, the duty cycle issue on the compressor is more important over the course of a day of competition than a match (at least in my experience). Running a compressor two minutes from a cold start isn't too bad, but if you are also doing any pit tests which need air or go over to the practice field or have matches close together, it matters. During the later rounds of playoffs, it could be critical.
