In our area, the umpires have the authority to declare a forfeit - especially if it's a black and white rule like I've already mentioned. There's nothing to deliberate about.

Try forfeiting a game, and then see what happens.
If you suspend it, then the worst thing that happens is that your judgment is upheld. If you forfeit, and you get overruled (and I saw this happen in a fairly well-known league last year on the second example you show,) then you have ****ed yourself.
