And you haven't been to a district yet, John. With only 40 teams, minimum match separation has to be set to 3 matches, or else you're playing with/against the same teams too much. For all practical purposes, the maximum match separation is 9-10; it would mathematically average to 40/6=6.6667.
However, many teams don't have the luxury of not doubling up assignments. They just don't have enough team members. My daughter doubled up between Chairmans and pit crew (lead electrical) , with safety captain thrown in. While she didn't get to see many matches on the field, it did mean that she was usually available in the pit to talk with wandering judges. Also it relieves crowding in the pits if the person there can do multiple jobs.
You might consider doubling up someone on scouting as your strategist. It doesn't have to be a driver meeting with the other teams, as long as the strategist knows what your drivers and PS's will be doing. Or your PS could double as a strategist.
