Not necessarily. I know some people that have been at the table in certain situations are officials at lower levels, but that does not mean that is the case in all situations or a mandate.

However not every HS Table Crew even tries to have an understanding of the rules except for the bare minimum they need to know.

With the continual addition of new rules or changes of those rules, it can be hard for a person to know about those changes unless they, themselves, take the initiative to learn.
And this is why the rules are the way they are. People that run the table would be a problem if they are not trained or paying attention. Not so say that the rules will never change, but a lot of new rules table people are often unaware.
