30 feet?! What could you possibly need that would be 30 feet high?

Anyway, yeah, height shouldn't be a problem unless you're constructing something like a giant screen infront of one of the monitors just so everyone can watch your team play DDR in the pits.

While there generally isn't much said about the height restriction, keep in mind that you have to bring all this stuff with you, and set it up, and take it down. For a lot of teams, a simple "pit area canopy" is perfectly sufficient. Your materials need to be within reach of the pit crew so that work between matches is efficient and safe.

A really tall structure may take up more room, meaning you may inhibit on the paths/roads in the pits and such things, and that's not GP.

i fogot to mention that we made to tower out of old carpet streatches or something like that was light and easy to take with us and it was also not to large and took up about 2 feet sq at the base in the inside of the corner of our pit so it woundnt bother anyone.
