7 Forfeiture of Games

If, according to the VICFA Handbook, an Association cannot field a team for a VICFA scheduled game, that Association shall pay a forfeit fee of $75.00. The forfeiting Association must also pay for cost of officials, unless the allocator is notified a minimum of 72 hours prior to game day and provided any other games impacted on that day can be re-rescheduled or adjusted to reduce the officials’ costs.

If the minimum number of dressed players is not met it will be noted on the commissioners report and if both Head Coaches agree to play then the game can be played but the official score for the game will be recorded as a win by a 30-0 score in favor of the team which has met or exceeded the minimum number of dressed players. If neither team has met the minimum number of dressed players, then the score will be recorded as a 0-0 tie, but no points will be awarded to either team. This rule is intended to allow teams to possibly participate in scheduled games even when unforeseen events prevent them from fielding the minimum number of players from their verified rosters. It is not intended to allow teams to repeatedly participate without meeting the minimum requirements of players on the verified roster or number of active players.
