Do you umpire a forfeited game?

All other stuff, tournie's, school and such-- no, we go home or wait for next scheduled game.

You better make sure that the rec dept understands the terms 'liability' and 'risk'...and your assignor makes sure that they WILL pick up all of your legal fees and such if anything happens in that hour...just because it is 'recreational', doesnt lessen any of the risks you occur.
