Whether you go as yourself or your former self I think you absolutely should go. You might get the chance to go to other tournaments but you probably won't get the opportunity to go "backstage". Could be a once in a lifetime thing.
My mother was a theatrical agent and I used to go to a lot of backstage parties or shoot parties. You may not get to chat to the famous people but frankly being in the same room as them and seeing them with their hair down is a cool experience too.
Go on, you know you want to Chrissy!
