We learned this the hard way after a similar play. Last play of game is crazy play with multiple fumbles and backward passes. Both H and visiting team thought down ended near the other side of the field so they come on to the field. All realize the ball is still live so they retreat. H is pretty sure players came off the sideline but he had mentally ended the play/game and so he didn't have a flag. Home team coach and AD scream crew off the field. They probably would have been even more upset if we had flagged the visitors, marched off the penalty and then still declared the game over.
