not too big of a problem

I think at competition, there are two kind of entanglement call.

One of them are really obvious ones that the inspectors can tell immediately when they first see the robot. That kind of calling will be made in inspection, and teams will have to modify their robot right away.

The other one is during matches, when ACTUAL entanglement happens. Basically the referees are going to call that when something do happen, and not at a risk of...

I think it is simply too much burden for FIRST to look into what's possible and not possible at being a risk of entanglement. So, it's more likely that they will leave it to the referees for the final decision on the field.
