When I saw the title "AMA and the World Drone Championships" I naturally thought that if the AMA was involved in sanctioning this event that the Spotter would be needed .
init, I google a drone world championship and the only thing from HI I see is this:

And right in the FAQ :
Do I need an AMA pilot license if I'm from another country?
Yes you will need a Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) license in order to fly and compete in the World Championships. It is mandatory as the World Championships are officially sanctioned by the AMA. It also is your insurance coverage for all events that you will compete.
Look at the part I underlined....why are we insuring this commercial operation?
I don't care about the Basketweaving World Championship either, but we should not be insuring it either.
