This is something I am currently wrestling, one of our umpires did not umpire a forfeited game, while I have no problem with that the league wants the umpire fee to go to the player who umpired the "fun" game.

If the game was forfeited, it's over. Anything you do beyond that is on your own time and dime. IOW, technically, you have no insurance (speaking ASA).

So, if you don't like your house and family, knock yourself out.
