Just don't set up a WiFi network, the field staff monitors the WiFi spectrum and will ask you to turn it off if you do set one up.

Edit: Also, some venues do not have a strong cellular signal. If you are dependent on a cell signal for your scouting system to work, I suggest having a backup plan just in case like local databases on your scouting system that can be merged together.
While I didn't work on it personally, 610's tablet scouting program will save the match data to the local storage if it can't find a cell signal. If you're going to be in areas where service is spotty, I would highly recommend adding something along those lines into your program.
