Richard,

This sort of approach is very admirable.

My favorite Key Volunteers have this same approach. I've had many positive, constructive conversations with Head Refs and LRI's regarding rule interpretations. Not necessarily regarding any specific match (this is not my place), but regarding rules in general and how teams can expect these key individuals to make calls. Often, I find that I might be aware of a Q/A or something else that this individual is not aware of, and we work together to improve the overall event experience.

On the flip side, I have less respect for KV's who hide behind their role and refuse input from participants at the event (through appropriate avenues, of course).

-Mike
