I think Cecil is used to working the way we do around here, three people on a field in these cases, in a two on one off format. In this weather, four to a field is not unusual, working a one on one off format.
Sounds like that is what needs to be considered for use up there, especially if the coaches and TD's are so anal about their time constraints. We never have those issues here because a crew is always ready to take the field as soon as the previous crew walks off of it.
If this is league, with just a couple to three games, even in the heat, another idea is for the plate umpire to work two consecutive games, and only change for a third game if one exists.
