We probably need some new terminology around forfeits. No show forfeits where a team says they are coming to a tournament and don't come.
Forfeits where teams don't have enough players at game time.
Forfeits where teams start the game but fake an injury.
Forfeits where teams start the game but ejections lower their players available to less than 10.
Forfeits where possibly the director called the game even though both teams had enough players to continue.
Forfeiting because a tournament goes passed the expected time on Sunday due to weather or long games and the team has to catch flights.
Forfeiting to catch Sunday morning flights.
All of these are definitely different situations under the umbrella of forfeiting yet teams that have been affected by one of the above scenarios want to paint all forfeits as the same as theirs and I think by reading the above list we can agree that all forfeits are not the same.
