I'm conflicted on this one.
First off ... whether a team can forfeit and continue play in a tournament is COMPLETELY the TD's call ... not the umpire's. I'm very surprised he asked you. We umpire the games we're asked to umpire. Player suspensions, team suspensions, eligibility, etc are not in our purview.
That said, had he asked ME in your situation, I likely would have said I had a problem with it. Not sure I would have threatened to leave though. Just might not have even worked there again, as reinstating the team would tell me he didn't have the umpires' backs.
