Volunteering at an event you have a team at?

[jds2001]

What are some experiences that people have being a mentor for a team, and then volunteering at the event that they compete at?

I'm seriously considering applying to become a ref next year (I think I'd be awesome at the job myself), and aside from the obvious conflict of interest problems (which could be worked around by having me on break when my team plays), would there be logistical issues such as the team asking you questions (unrelated to the game) etc?

Just wondering what folks experiences with this are and if I'm completely bonkers for wanting to do it
