Our local rec & summer officials don't like working games that have been declared a forfeit.

If there's more than 1 court at a gym, I go work 3 person if I have a forfeit on my court.

I was there, had another game afterwards, and it was easy work frankly. Never even considered not working it.

In fact, the league I just finished playing in, the officials are expressly forbidden from working forfeits by both the assignor and the Parks & Rec.

If you work a "non-sanctioned" game, i.e. a scrimmage, you may have an insurance problem - if you carry referee insurance, that is.

It's summer league ball, the game was assigned by my assigner. Whether the players are all technically from the same team is none of my business. Whether the score counts is none of my business. This game was just as sanctioned as any pre-season HS scrimmage that we all work. Frankly, it was just as sanctioned as the 2nd game I worked.

By what concrete standard is it not?

As soon as you declare it a forfeit. By your own admission, this game wasn't the same as your 2nd game. Any decent lawyer is going to demonstrate that.

In my area, all officials have the NFHS insurance as NV elected to be a 100% state. I'd have to check the details of the policy to see if it covers a situation such as the one that you just had.
