Not usually. But you can get additional site owners insurance if needed.

From the sanction application:

All AMA sanctioned event sponsors are provided with comprehensive liability protection, when the operation of the model aircraft is in compliance with the AMA Safety Code. This coverage includes both model flying and non-flying accidents which may involve participants, AMA officials and spectators. NO COVERAGE IS PROVIDED FOR ACCIDENTS INVOLVING THE USE OF FULL-SCALE AIRCRAFT (SUCH AS FOR MODEL SPOTTING FROM THE AIR OR DEMONSTRATIONS AT AIR SHOWS). Flying site owners can also be provided with liability protection as additional insureds. However, this must be applied for by using the application form for insuring flying site owners. This form is furnished as part of the sanction kit. If necessary, an application form can be obtained by calling the AMA Competitions Department or from www.modelaircraft.org.
