In WI we have to start the game with 2 officials. We cannot begain a game until there are at least 2 officials. However, if one official becomes incapacitated so that they cannot continue, the game may be completed with one official.
In my experience when this has happened - they try and find a registered official to complete the game. (JV officials, or once - another officials who was watching in the stands) In my 20+ years I have only seen this happen 4 times. 3 of these were because an official did something silly - like running backwards, falling and smacking head on floor/bleacher. The other turned out to be a torn calf muscle.
