Many posters have been of the opinion that the rules covering forfeits cannot be applied here. The reasons they have stated have made me rethink my position to the point of my thinking to myself..."OK, I think you're right. It probably does meet the rule book criteria for a forfeit. So, if it's not a forfeit, what is it considered by rule?"

What I'm saying is that as the umpire....you don't declare anything.
Neither team wants to play...leave the field...file the report...let the league authorities decide the status of the game....
