Once you have loaded the match scouting page, it never needs to reload. All of the matches are cached into local storage until you reconnect to the internet. At the end of each match it tries to push to the server. If you have internet at that time, it will push it online, otherwise you can manually push it with a button that is on the prematch page and a button on the main menu.

At the Auburn Mountainview district, two teams scouted offline all day without any problems. It works surprisingly well.

So you only really need to connect to the internet when you want to push or access your data. I recommend having a single phone with bluetooth tethering and pushing a different tablet (or laptop) between each match.
