If a game is declared a forfeit (team drops to 6 players) but the managers still wish to play the game out to the time limit, is it 'illegal' for an umpire to continue to call that non-game of their own volition?
The site director is claiming that, under ASA rules, there's a liability issue if the action continues and the umpire is calling it, thus making it illegal to do so, but he cannot cite the section of the rulebook where this rule is found.
