At the risk of being lynched for throwing my two cents in here...
As with Elaine and Andrew, I don't really understand why two captains need to be present. If the captain has a large amount of admin to do, then I understand why someone should be there to take it away from the players. However if it is for prep, then what is wrong with using Skype? Seems to save flights and accom. That way you can have an official (ideally strong enough to be able to help out before games), but also use the fact this is 2014, and if players have preferred prep people/seconds, then do it via the net.
