This is at an off-season 15s tournament (20-minute halves) in NJ, USA. Team A didn't bring enough players to play their first game so they forfeited and suggested an unsanctioned friendly 10s match with the original Team B they were supposed to play. The forfeit was recorded on the books in the tournament prior to the start of the friendly match.
10s matched ensued at the location of the tournament and a referee of the tournament volunteered to officiate the unsanctioned match. A few players from Team B were donated to play with Team A to establish a full enough side for the friendly 10s match.
During the game, a player on Team B got red carded.
In a normal sanctioned tournament match, that would mean that player is done for the remainder of the tournament. But how does that work with a unsanctioned friendly match that took place at the location of the tournament but was not part of the tournament itself?
