That's the main trick.  The marshals are supposed to keep themselves 
between fighters, spectators and danger.  If everyone does that then 
things run smoothly even in smaller spaces.  When people start to 
assume that others are watching and know what's going on then we 
start to have problems.  (For when we assume it make a mess out of you 
and me?)
