When you have to coordinate scouting for teams and you have to have your scouters in the pits and in the stands, it's a nightmare. What should have taken me 5 mins to set up scouting for people, took me the whole day. The walk to the pits and back along with the scouters having to come back was hell on them. The drivers were lucky. They did it only 4 times a day. I did it on average of 4 times per 2 hours.
It wasn't a nightmare - I was one of the two people coordinating scouting for my team and a 5-minute walk back and forth ain't bad at all. Twice an hour seems a little excessive. I was coordinating scouting the thursday and coordinating three video angles the rest of the time, yet none of it took any longer than was deemed necessary. I'll admit that cell phones helped achieve this (about 1/3 of the team had them), but it was good exercise. It's not like for scouting you have to carry anything heavier than a laptop or notebook, anyhow...
