Someone, whoever it might be, at the gym is in charge of the facility and the event and can shut it down.

According to my state, officials are the authority over the contest, not ADs, Principal, Superintendent or Parent. Now if they do not want to play a game, that is up to them. It would be noted and a Special Report would be filed with the IHSA and they would deal with it from there. And based on the information they can take whatever action they choose. I would not fight them, but it would not go unreported. Because it might be possible that they have been a problem again and they could put their membership or participation up in the air. Just like if I were to overstep my authority I could suffer the same consequences. But when we are on the court in this state, we are in charge of the contest. If that is not the way it is there, then so be it.
