I can understand why. Intrasquad scrimmages, especially when nothing is on the line, can be tough to officiate. Players tend to do things that they normally wouldn't even try to do in a "real" game that counts. Rough play often becomes a problem.

I had a team not show for the middle game of a Catholic middle school junior varsity tripleheader a few weeks ago. I was getting paid no matter what. Team that showed wanted to run an intrasquad scrimmage. Before the jump ball to start the game, I told the players and the coaches that any fooling around would lead to my quick exit. We played three running time 6:00 periods. No problems. My assigner thanked me.
