My thought to organizers - I understand that not every small town can provide a space that has hardwired running electric to every team, but other options exist. I think in a lot of cases, the city could run temporary 15-20 amp service lines with minimal work. If not, a local company with a large generator (rental place for example) might provide one for event sponsorship. /quote].
I like your thoughts Bobby but the major problem is LIABILITY. I'am a licensed electrician and have tried to assist local fund raising events many times in the past free of charge. The city doesn't want to take responsibility nor does a rental firm with a large generator if any mishaps occur.
Recently, a 10 year old boy tripped over a extension cord that I had put down temporarily, while he was running around with his sister. His parents wanted to SUE ME for creating a trip haxard!
Sad but true..........
