Garth,
While I do believe the conditions I mentioned
are grounds for a forfeit, I do not believe they are the
only grounds for a forfeit. I'll admit that it's beyond me to articulate a comprehensive statement of what would constitute grounds for a forfeit.
The best I can come up with would be along the lines of...
repeated blatant acts which demonstrate a complete disregard for the rules of the game in a way that precludes the game from being fairly played.
For example, if one team's pitchers repeatedly intentionally threw at the other team's batters or one team's runners repeatedly committed malicious contact on the other team's fielders.
Of course, I would also consider the use of ineligible players as possible grounds for a forfeit, which doesn't exactly fit my description.
I'm sure there are other cases people could suggest that my statement wouldn't cover.
