According to Federation, at least as applied in Illinois, the game must resume.
You must wait 1 hour before declaring a postponed game. If by the hour's end the lightening has completely passed you continue the game, after a 3 minute warmup period. Muddy field is not an acceptable reason for termination. Lightening is about the only excuse to stop the game.....outside of the outlandish like tornado, hurricane, etc.
With this said, it would appear any team refusing to play once the white hat declares it safe to play would be forfeiting.

Actually, that's not the Federation policy. Sounds more like the IHSA policy. The NF policy is to wait 30 minutes after lightning or thunder. It's up to the state association as to how they handle a game that isn't resumed.
