I don't have to "hope" anything. I'm in full control at the site, and I only care about how everyone complies at the site, because if they don't comply with any of my penalties in the scrimmage, then I'm out the door. I'll even call a forfeit (yes, in a scrimmage) on my way out to make it official (officially ending the contest) before I hit the highway.
It would be nice if the penalties move up the ladder (athletic director, principal, the state interscholastic sports governing body), but compliance up the ladder wouldn't be high on my priority list, although I would file the necessary paperwork.
And this could happen in either an intersquad, or an intrasquad, scrimmage.
Coach: "You can't disqualify him. We're not keeping track of fouls".
BillyMac: "He's disqualified for trying to throw a punch".
Coach: "He's gonna keep playing. It's only a scrimmage".
BillyMac: "If that's the case coach, then you're going to forfeit the contest".
Coach: "I don't care. The game doesn't count".
BillyMac (to table): "This team (pointing) forfeits. I'm outta here."
And, when I get home. I'll contact my assignment commissioner, discuss the matter, and talk about filing all the necessary paperwork.
