Like I said, it's not specifically addressed so do what works for you. Around here, I've never seen it and I like it that way so if I was the first official around here to see it, I would just politely ask the team to return to their end and that would be the end of it.

There was a POE that came out a couple years ago having to do with teams doing the "circle the wagons" thing which involved a team running around the opponents warm-up area. In the officials manual it tells officials where to stand and tells them what team they will observe. By doing that, it assumes that each team will be on ONE end. Not specifically addressed but based on those two things, I just wouldn't allow it.
