They're coming to Chicago in July and I have contacted them twice about working games. Haven't heard anything.
Just curious if anyone knows if it's worthwhile.

Played in the London, Ontario, Canada Tournament a few years back Adult, Competitive, Coed. Had Fun but the volunteers who were scoring and reffing weren't making many calls. We ended up calling our own fouls in the rest of our games, the teams we were up against did the same.
From my experience I would say go - they need us there to ref.
As for the whiners - what would you do in a varsity/high school game if a player got in your face and griped about a call.... T em. That usually takes care of any other whiny complaints players may have.
Go for it, have fun, call what you see. Hopefully you can get a level of play where the players know (not think they know) what they are doing.
If you don't like it you don't have to return next year.
