There is also one very harried person in charge of team queuing at each event. If you told this person that they'd have to hunt down a surrogate team for every no show, in addition to hunting down the no-show, they probably wouldn't like you much.

Not to mention how it would screw up the scoring software, or the team/match list for the MC, or....

It's just not going to happen. There's far too many difficulties involved compared to just leaving a trailer out there.
