I have had a couple of times where the local crew cheats the visiting team.

They need to go ASAP. This is absolutely not permitted.

I've even done a game where the chain crew had to be replaced. They were drunk and tried to pick a fight with an assistant coach on the visiting team. I don't know what happened to the guys, but we never saw them again.

Who would allow drunk people as part of the officiating staff, and even on the field? Whoever that was (likely more than 1 person), they had a serious lapse of judgment.
