I know that this is early, but watching the colleges doing their Spring Games made me think.... If you were going to go against One team how should that scrimmage be structured? Any Thoughts? This is for a high school.

Scenario 1:
20 plays for first team O and D. 15 plays second teams. 7 plays for anyone who hasn't gotten in.
Scenario 2:
Play it like a live half of football with a few adjustments. No live KO or KOR. KO team kicks and runs down to cover, returners field the ball. If KO is a touchback it is a touchback. If KO goes past 20 play it as a touchback. If KO doesn't go past 20 play it where it is fielded. Punts are played the same way. No live rush for PAT/FG. Everything thing else is live. Quick whistles on sacks. QB was not live (put a scrimmage vest or helmet cap on QB) unless offense runs their QB. At the end of half each team runs a 2 minute o period from the -40. Halftime. Then each offense got 10-15 plays to work situations they didn't get to work during live period. Last period was 10-15 plays for guys who didn't get in on the live action.

When we scrimmage other schools in the fall we typically follow the following:
Spot the ball at the -40.
12 Plays 1's vs 1's
10 Plays 2's vs 2's
10 plays 1's vs 1's
10 plays 2's vs 2's
If you get stopped on 3rd down, the ball moves back to the -40. If you are inside the +20 when the series ends you continue through until you score or get stopped on downs.
Depending on numbers we might go 8 plays of 3's vs 3's
Then we play a live quarter with no special teams. If there is a punt, we line up in punt formation and punt the ball. The defense lines up and the returner fair catches. No rush on the punt return, no cover by the punt team. We spot the ball 35 yards from the punt. We never spot it inside the 20.
We don't do kickoff or kick returns. We spot the ball at the 35 after a score.
The JV and Frosh scrimmage before the varsity, going 12 and 12 for 3 or 4 series depending on time.

In the past, we have done 10-10-10-10 of O and D. Then a varsity quarter. Then a JV quarter, and then a series of 10 and 10 for anyone who hasn't gotten in the game. We also might toss in a 2 minute segment for each team, if it's wanted.
We are usually pretty flexible with the quarter. If the offense is in the middle of the drive, we extend it to the end of their drive.

We usually use a format like this:
First Scrimmage
Ones
10 plays- Team A Offense vs. Team B Defense
10 plays- Team B Offense vs Team A Defense
Twos
10 plays- Team A Offense vs. Team B Defense
10 plays- Team B Offense vs Team A Defense
Ones
10 plays- Team A Offense vs. Team B Defense
10 plays- Team B Offense vs Team A Defense
Twos
5 plays- Team A Offense vs. Team B Defense
5 plays- Team B Offense vs Team A Defense
Down and Distance
Each team gets 2-3 series, starting from the -30, get a 1st Down the chains keep moving, turnover or turnover on downs and the other team starts from their -30.
Second scrimmage follows the same format, except that the ones get three sets of 10 plays instead of two. Third scrimmage is a game scrimmage (3 quarters varsity, 1 quarter JV)

My favorite format for one on one scrimmage was:
1st half was game like with referees. Played just like a game. All special teams,etc.
3rd quarter was Special Teams and situations. 1's vs. 1's
4th quarter was 2nds/3rds vs. 2nds/3rds.
5th quarter was beer and pizza with the other staff.

College spring games are for a different purpose from scrimmages, so I wouldn't try to model the format of either on the other.

We host a 5-team scrimmage. Each team does 10 minutes offense, 5 minute break, 5 minutes of defense, 5 minute break, O/D vs. next team. Each team gets to see 4 other teams and gets a break. One set of teams are on one end of the field, another set on the other side. JV are on the same schedule on 2 other fields. Starts at 10, done by 1230. JV are on another field. No special teams. We seldom get referees that want to make the trek up to our school to work the competitions, so we generally get 1, maybe two referees.

Last year we did some specific situational reps.
For one of our sets of 10 downs we did 4 reps of 3rd and 1, 3 reps of 3rd and medium, 3 reps of 3rd and long.

Last year we did some 7 on 7 and inside run, then went several 10 play series, then did some drives and finished with a series on the goal line. Worked well

In Illinois we cannot scrimmage other teams. We do have a meet the team night, where teams play themselves. We are big enough that we can mostly go two platoon. We would start with the ball on the 20. The first team offense goes against first team defense with number 2 for any position that there is an offensive starter. They have an 8min running clock. Then we switch it and it's all first team defense with another running 8min. Then, it's the twos/threes for 10min running and the freshmen get a 10 min running clock.

Ten minutes first O vs First D. Then switch teams. 10 min second O vs second D. Then switch. Do that for about an hour. Then two 12 minute quarter game situation with a running clock.
