Ok I totally understand what you are all saying. Team eligibility is TD's call (and / or ASA REP if present) whether they are removed from the tournament for their actions in the game with the knock down drag out fight is their call as well, not disagreeing with that concept.
That being said, it is the umpires right to not work if they are not comfortable with the working conditions. If there is a team that is dangerous to umpire and an umpire feels unsafe due to the past actions of that team, it is absolutely within their rights to not umpire any more games at that event. Now I agree I would not "threaten" a TD with leaving, but I can absolutely see letting them know that if that team is still playing then I would not feel comfortable continueing to work games where they are playing. Small difference but I would inform them not threaten them.
