That seems to be what they did here and I think that is one good way to handle it.

I could be wrong, and I'm sure FED probably needs to address this for the future like they have in basketball.

Sorry, I guess I misinterpreted a previous post in this thread. I did not mean that the game ended immediately but that all players leaving their position were ejected for fighting.

In football, any player that leaves the team area during a fight is disqualified. They don't have to actually participate, just leave the team box. I thought it was similar in basketball that any play leaving the bench during a fight is ejected.
