Not sure I understand what you are saying. Their isn't any value, or savings, to having idle team members aside from increasing the bank (assuming they contributed). Having one member spotting while four others are waiting is not an efficient use of people's time. If the team is paying for the members' travel expenses, they need to be maximizing EV for the time. A two to one, or one to one, BP to spotter ratio would be a better utilization of people's energy. Better yet if conditions allow, back count. You'll get more call-ins , more total hands, moe EV, and reach N0 sooner. If everybody were to think they are "playing through another member" they might as well just be investors. If "trust" is an issue, those members will soon be gone. If they aren't confident enough in their skills to put the bank in action, they shouldn't be active players yet, and need to be coached up.
