We've all seen such fights back in elementary school at noon recess.

Unless two fights happen with an (undefined) interval of time in between, I like the idea of "one fight bucket".

However, the NFHS probably needs the second bucket for players who come off the bench but don't fight.

The NFHS really wants to to limit the number of team members on the court during a fight.

The NFHS's answer is to treat these "observers" as "fighters", even if they don't "fight"

Thus we get these complex fight rules.
