Kale who tanked a Blue Kamehameha is useless....okay then.
And maybe someone can tell Freeza that there are two green slugs hiding in the tournament and he can give them a live reenactment of his visit to Namek.
Kale can't fight anymore so she is useless but watch her and Caulifla magically regain their energy out of nowhere.
It looks like Universe 6 could be relying on Hit and them slugs you mention.

A better question is, why aren't they fighting ? I know they wanted to rest but the tournament isn't long enough for that. Can they really make up that much stamina in 5 or so minutes ?
It might be because she understood she isn't big shot after all, but the chances are slim because she just now wanted to challenge the guy beating hit..
So I will have to go with them being really badly damaged, enough to not be able to fight continuously..
It only been a few minutes in-universe since Kale and Cali fought and they probably haven't been ring out because they're suppressing themselves and are hidden among the other big powers in the tournament.
It isn't like people are fighting based on sensing others, some universes can't even be sensed, most fight when they see someone they might be able to take on, like the orange guy suddenly challenged jiren but understood he wasn't capable enough after he challenged him, because not everyone can sense people..
Cauliflowa and kale are like I said, in a circular ring with people all around, hiding behind a wall dosen't do much in cases like that, people can spot you no problem..
That's the reason conserving stamina and not tiring is so important, people need to be in fighting shape all the time, or its game over..

Can't Freeza just target all the useless fighters so we can get to the good parts ? The momentum they built today will be dead next week thnaks to more nobodies getting the spotlight again, as if we didn't get enough of that already.
We haven't seen anything from the Namakines so I'm guessing they're among the top fighters that'll get real screen time once the nobodies are out.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Based on what? If she sees Cali in trouble, she will get up and transform just like what any other Saiyan does in the series. And the slugs haven't even done anything, so what do you even mean by 'Universe 6 could be relying'?

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

If I had to guess they are saving a lot of nobodies for jiren to take out in a flash..
Clean up the entire arena and many universes in an instant..
That would be work as shock factor due to so many universes simultaneously getting erased when they thought they might survive after all, and it will show jiren is serious about this now..

Never, if he had to go up from SSG he goes SSB..
If he had to go further he goes SSBKK..
The whole reason he goes SSG is to conserve stamina, which kaioken does the opposite of..
It's much better to use blue for that extra boost..

But maybe because the less stamina drain Kaioken could work better on it... At least more then x10

But only Blue is stated to have the ki control to effectively combo the skill.

If anything they are saving a lot of U7 and U6 members for Jirren,which is why both of them had only 1 elimination so far.

And out-verse it won't happen because of the conflict in red aura.

I said 'could' since we know nothing about them and the Universe 6 Saiyans don't seem like they have enough to compete with Universe 7 and 11 so that would leave the Namekians, Frost, Magetta and Dr Rota and we know what Frost and Magetta can do.
How long would Caulifla and Kale be able to fight for since they are obviously very injured?

You could make it work but then it would take more away from Blue as well. The whole Ki control thing is its primary feature.

Not really, this is a bad time to make a statement that blue is compatible with KK just to give him a new form after that..
Introducing KK would be useless, unless Goku decides to use it as a last resort or something and that plot point somehow leads to the new form..

I'm thinking it KK does lead to it. Toei have been marketing SSGSSKK quite a bit, they keep showcasing SSGSSKKx10 from the U6 arc in those hype trailer plus
he's already used it 3 times this arc and plus the OP has the red aura thing and then the back visual has red aura in there too.

Even if Kaioken has nothing to do with it it'd be pretty easy to throw it into the manga, just as they threw in God in the anime, they don't have to make a big deal out of it.

They can't fight at the moment, which is why they're resting. But being tired have never stopped a Saiyan from getting a second wind. And I don't think Champa would have freaked outs so badly about Hit if the U6 Namekians could turn the tides.

Cabba and Caulifla kind of give off the implication that they know each other. Caulifla probably just doesn't like Cabba. Cabba even says he isn't good with her. But even then she stopped being super hostile once he showed her Super Saiyan.
Not really an implication, Cabba outright states when she's mentioned by her brother that he doesn't get along with her
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

I don't think it will. In the last 2 Zamasu chapters Goku got a pefected SsjB and Vegeta got it in this month's chapter so it'd be pointless to introduce that, Kaioken and whatever the new form is in such a short amount of time.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.
