What is the difference between a default and a forfeit?
A default occurs when a team captain contacts the staff member in charge of said sport one business day in advance to inform them that their team will be unable to attend their contest. The game is recorded as a loss but no further action takes place. This may take place once per sport. A forfeit occurs when a team does not have the minimum number of players present and legally signed in at game time. In this case, the game is forfeitted, the team receives a loss and a $30 forfeit charge is assessed to the team captain. The team is removed from the league after forfeitting a second time but is not charged a second time. The team captain will be contacted by the staff member in charge of the sport to determine whether or not the team wishes to remain in the league. Teams that do not respond to the staff after forfeitting may be subject to immedaite removal from the league.
