You need a FTA, FTAA, scorekeeper, Field Supervisor and full setup/takedown/reset team, Head Ref and Referees, Lead Queue and queue team, Spare Parts table ... the list goes on. You wouldn't need as many inspectors (perhaps they'll take a page from off-season playbooks and do away with inspection, but that brings up other potential issues). And not as many crowd control / safety glasses table / etc.

Hey, maybe the guy who wants to be an FTA will get his chance!

I am curious as to why they would need a Queue team if only two alliances are playing? (of course if that is not the case....ok..)
8 teams to inspect....

It would seem to me that the number of volunteers for the pits/inspection areas would be greatly diminished.
