Regional or not, its stupid not to inform the players. The R walks up and says, "offense will take a knee; defense, do not hit anyone; offense, you are committed and you can't fake it." Sorry to sound arrogant, but this is the ONLY way to handle this. I wouldn't work for anyone that told me any different.

Apples and oranges, given that your rules state that simulating taking a knee kills the play.
That said, what is stupid is telling the defense what play the offense is going to run, and also telling the offense they must run the play they announced.
