This was discussed with some valid content awhile ago, but I thought maybe we could have a go at it here with some civil discussion. This season has seen five (or maybe six) forfeits. Some of these look like they could just be 'convenience' forfeits (people don't want to drive 2-4 hours for a game).
There are some rules in place to deal with forfeits. For example:
* too many forfeits and you start to get suspensions and become ineligible for out of state tournaments
* forfeits count as two penalty points in the standings, but only if you accrue more than 5 penalty points
* loss of eligibility for state cup with too many forfeits
* possible fines
Is that enough? Is it being enforced?
In my personal opinion, you should get penalty points in the standings no matter how many other penalty points you accrue. Forfeits suck for the other team.
Recorded as forfeits:
U19 Athena C1
CSA Impact U18 Girls 4F
Express Regional SA 0
Badger Creek Complex
BU14 Classic IV South
00 Norcross Fury Gold 4F
El Real Rincon FC 0
Norcross, Pinckneyville Park
BU19 Classic I East
Augusta Arsenal 95 Gold 4F
United FA 96 Red 0
Augusta Soccer Park
BU14 Classic IV South
Storm SA 99 Boys Blue 4F
Athens United 00 Gold 0
Chatham Co Soccer Complex
BU17 Classic IV North
SSA Oconee 97B Red 4F
SMYSA STORM EAGLES 0
Oconee Veterans Park
Allegedly this is a forfeit (it showed as forfeit for awhile), but the score has shown blank for a long time, so maybe they are going to reschedule it:
BU15 Classic II
Storm SA 98 Boys Black
Ambush B99 Red
Chatham Co Soccer Complex
