FORFEIT GAMES & SCORING
In the result of a forfeited game, the following will take place regarding standings & score:
a. If forfeit occurs prior to start of the game, the final score will be 1-0 in favor of the team that was ready to play. The result will stand, but the run will not count. (Tie breakers switch to AVG Runs Allowed/Scored in this situation)
b. If forfeit occurs once game has been started (due to injury or team leaving) – then final score will be whatever game result was. If losing team received the forfeit, then the win/loss result will be switched but score remains same for tie breakers.
c. If a game is protested and result changes outcome of the game, the final score will revert back to the point of the protested moment, assuming the game cannot be continued.
***SPECIAL NOTE - Any intentional forfeit by a team during pool play will result in the forfeiting team being eliminated from any playoff contention.***
