A forfeit match refers to a game that has been abandoned by one team, and as a result, it will not be rescheduled or played again during the remainder of the season. The Competition Administrator may need to approve the forfeit request if a team is unable to field enough players or meet other requirements for the match.  
  
You will receive an email with the fixture to go to the forfeit request.
