"MATCH FORFEIT" or "WIN BY DEFAULT" RULES
FOR 11-12, 13-14 and GIRLS DIVISIONS ONLY!
These three Divisions in YSL play for points, so all games need to conform to the YSL rules for Kick off time and numbers of players. In order to solve disputes arrising from disorganized teams, no shows, and under strength teams the league has always allowed for a match to be Forfieted by the team unable to field a full strength team at the scheduled kick off time.
In the event that one team is ready to start a match on time, but the other team does not show up at all, or has insufficient players to make a team, the match will be considered as a "Forfeit" with a 0:0 Win being recorded for the team which was ready to play. (3 points, no GF/GA) This is not designed to punish teams for being a few seconds late, but more to allow friendly matches to take place in the event of unequal team sizes etc.
In order to claim the forfeit the following circumstances must exist:
Your team must be on the field, standing in position ready for a kick off, at the scheduled kick off time. The opposition team has 10 minutes from the scheduled kick off to either: put a team onto the field. If both teams are late, then no Forfeit can be claimed unless one team has less than the minimum of players (11/12 -7 players, 13/14 - 6 players). In the event of any late start, the match will not be allowed to continue beyond the kick off time of the subsequent match, even if the full playing time is not expired.
In the event that the opposition is unable to field a team with the minimum number of players, the match will be Forfeited and a friendly game can be arranged between the teams after the larger team offers players to the under-strength team. Any score from this friendly match will not be counted.
