This is what I had thought. They did say that extra security measures were in
place at this tournament to avoid the high death toll. I imagine not everyone
was magically "watching", just one or more judges, and that they were not to
interfere unless it was just this sort of situation, where a champion in peril
could not signal.

I base this on the rapidity with which people were there after Harry and Cedric
reappeared. Yes, a judge would have come in for Fleur and Viktor, but not the
crowd of folks that were apparently there when Harry and Cedric got back. I
don't think they had enough time to search the whole maze and realize that they
were missing. I think something alerted them the minute Harry and Cedric
disappeared, and a whole mess of people consquently went in immediately. Who
couldn't do anything *but* wait, since there would have been no trace of where
they'd gone.
