Can you power up? Tethering on the field between matches has been greatly discouraged the last few years and I'd find it very surprising that tethering is allowed now. I suppose if thats all that can be done, then it would have to be allowed. But if someone has found something in the rules that says tethering is expected and accepted, I wouldn't rely on that as a solution.
There are many ways to solve this problem...but it is an issue that some teams will probably not take into consideration if they are not made aware of it.
