Reminds me of a game our association had years ago. A Canadian team came down to WA (state, not DC for you east coasters) for (obviously) a non-conference game. The coaches met before the game and decided they would do Canadian rules when the Candadian team was on offense, and NFHS when the WA team was on offense. This was a problem on at least two fronts:
1) Our officials don't know Canadian rules or mechanics, and having 12 on the field, 3 downs, etc, was a problem.
2) Safety. The NFHS kids were getting pummeled by the forward motion (the RB would line up about 7 yards deep and run full-speed at the line where the QB would take the snap and hand it off).
So the next year when they came, we said NFHS
ONLY.
