Nope - not gonna do it

But the ones I've worked have just not been worth the abuse I've taken. I can find plenty of competitive games at the high school level in the summertime.

I hear you, adult wreck ball can be a tough gig because there's usuallly no coaches or organization within the teams.
But we have the good ol' 3 Ts on 1 team = forfeit rule here. After my partner & I went home early (with pay) a few times, the players seem to have caught the drift.

I can hear them whispering when I walk in the gym now. "Don't say nothing tonight" or "Let them call the game, we'll adjust"

Personally, I believe anybody that can successfully manage a wreck game, can handle most sanctioned games with ease. Your communication & conflict resolution skills are put to the ultimate test with that animal!
