Yes, had an ump who was working solo no show for one of my daughters games and I was drafted by both coaches to work the game so it wasnt forfeited.

Called daughter out for not tagging up when they threw her out when I wanted to yell "go back go back" when I saw it coming .. Game went well and both coaches complimented me for calling a fair game despite the fact my dd was on one of the teams. I called it fair but was rooting for my daughters team, of course.
Absolutely! I always root for the team with an 7/11 run lead (FP/SP) to score one more run in the bottom of the 5th inning. I always root for the team from the winner's bracket to take the championship game. And I always root for ANYONE to beat the *******s on the field.

HOWEVER, it does not affect my game. As I have stated before, my brain will not allow me to intentionally make the incorrect call.
