This situation makes me sick....The way the states handle their officals...I had decided to stop officiating after several years...the area that I lived was short of officials and during the summer (football) was nearly begged to help a couple of crews out. So I went to the meeting and bam! got hit with a $40 late fee. I was pissed! Something about wanting to get everyone registered early so my name could be in a state officials book...I told him not to do me any more favors!
Your question about the forfeit I believe is the home team (admistration) is required to obtain the services of a state licenced official(s)in all varsity sports, in this case he was not thus the forefeits. Even though he told them he was, it's one of those rules that the buck stops here (administration).
