Forfeit of Game

[PeteBooth]

I agree with Bob.

As umpires it's not a good idea to answer questions about Forfitures player / coach punishment etc as that is left up to the leagues to enforce.

I live in NY and during the HS season if we toss a player/coach they MUST sit out the next game, HOWEVER, if ANY of the coaches says

"Pete can my player play in the next game, etc."

I simply say "Check with your AD". After the game I simply write up a brief report of the EJ and E-mail it in to my assignor who forwards it to the AD. I do NOT get involved with punsihments replaying of games etc.

As Bob said if we toss a coach and he refuses to leave we as umpires leave, send in a report and it's up to the league to determine if the game is replayed or not.
