Voice of experience here...several years ago I worked a State Championship game in which one of the teams was from my school district (I teach 7th grade and knew only one player on the team)...they won and took home the trophy. Everything was fine...fast forward to next season: same team makes Championship game again, and I am at same tourny...get evaluated at top of list and do champ. game...the team loses by two in overtime: the you-know-what hit the fan. Letters to local paper, e-mails at work, nasty phone calls at home, etc...I will no longer work ANY game at ANY level for that school...again, I did nothing wrong, and was not the reason they lost, but to rabid fans, it sure LOOKED like it...it's best to just stay away from those games if at all possible.
