There was an incident in a Pennsylvania state playoff game a couple of years ago where there was a fight in the first quarter, with virtually every player and every team member involved in the fight. By rule, every person involved in the fight was disqualified for the rest of the game.
But the state association, which was at the site, decided that it wanted a winner determined on the court, and not a double forfeit. So it ruled that only one or two of the original fighters were disqualified, and the game was to continue.
I suspect there are other, similar examples.
