Agree. Forfeit is declared. Officials, coaches, and administrators agree to have a "scrimmage". Player accidentally gets seriously hurt in the scrimmage. Parents sue for negligence saying that the officials should have ended the game with the forfeit and that the scrimmage should never have been played, and thus, the serious injury should have never happened.

The plaintiff may not prevail, but the officials will still have to hire an attorney and defend themselves in a court of law. Lots of billable hours involved.
