A nice change of pace

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.

I didn't declare the forfeit, the site admin did.
That said, I'll agree the games weren't the same. My question is what makes one more "sanctioned" than the other. The question is, what makes a game sanctioned? In essense, they're all scrimmages.

In the Rec Leagues here, forfeit is written in the scorebook. After that point the officials no longer have jurisdiction over the court. I would surmise that is the point at which things could get complicated, insurance-wise.
