I think that would be insane... Has anyone come across any info on this?

Due to variences in the lighting environments and ambient light levels at each venue, the calibration values will be unique to each site. FIRST field staff will be providing calibration numbers at each event. This is documented in one of the manuals. I forget which one right now, but will look it up and give you the reference when I find it.
