Joe - It's not an automatic. The Tournament Committee decides.
Read Playing Rule 5. "No game may be forfeited or a team disqualified without the authorization of the Tournament Committee. Violations which may result in forfeiture or disqualification must be reported to the Regional Director before further play takes place which would involve a team or teams affected by such action."
There's also a tournament rule that says a kid removed for injury can't come back without medical approval.
In other words, report the situation immediately. Get a decision before continuing. I'd bet you'd get the OK to re-enter in your scenario. If it was an absolute, the committee would't need to get involved. They are there to assess the circumstances and make a decision.
9(c) (MPR Violation) also notes that the forfeit can only be authorized by the tournament committee.
