Bill also posted about it on 3/21.

I'm honestly fine with not giving out pairs to team members to use for the whole event, but, as stated in the same post you quoted, I think there should be a way to check them out short-term (give them, say, a 5-10 minute window) to go to their pit, grab a pair of their own, and return them.
