Ever Umpired a Beat-Down Like This? 45-0!

there's nothing that prevents the losing coach from just pulling his team off the field and going home. In some NFHS leagues, a gentlemen's agreement between coaches has a 15 runs after 3 innings mercy rule, which I've had several times happen...when the lead swells to 15 during the bottom of the 3rd, I'd just look at the visiting coach and he'll usually say something: "screw it, we're out of here..." and I call "Ballgame!"...
I wish there was a 25 after 1 rule...

In Missouri, a special report is to be filed to the state in these situations. I don't know what happens after the report is filed, but, according to my rules interpreter, it's considered pulling your team off of the field.
