Found a proposed change to the Washington Interscholastic Activities Asociation handbook while looking for some other info.
The State Association has the right to forfeit games in which a school used ineligible players.
In fact a team ended the state record losing streak this past football season by just such a forfeit.
A change has been proposed that would allow a school to appeal a forfeit penalty on the grounds that they would have beaten the other school even witout the play of the ineligible player(s).
The school must show a "preponderance" of evidence to win the appeal.
Some(but not all) of the criteria of the ineligible to be looked at:
1) What were the individual’s statistics from the game and when were they achieved?
2) What was the individual’s time of participation?
3) If this person had not played, who would have and what were his/her capabilities?
4) Was this individual a starter in the contest in question?
5) What was the contribution of the opposing player while this individual was in the game?
6) How did the role played in this game by this player compare to the role he/she played in other games?
7) Was anyone aware this athlete was ineligible prior to his/her participating?
In orther words. "if we would have kicked your *** witout em........"
Any place else have this sort of process?
