Come on Dan. You can do better than that!

BTW, although you say it's not unusual
for this type of announcement to be made, I have never
seen it done nor heard of it done. I can't think of
a better way to incite a riot than threaten a forfeit.
I would sooner clear the gym of all spectators than
do that.

I have heard this type of announcement made when when items were thrown on the floor. I think 99% of the fans would applaud efforts to remove such fans, speaking of the toher 1%. I don't see a riot being a problem or really ever getting to the point of having to forfeit a game. But if we're talkng in terms of rules, the authority is there.

Tony, if you're going to use the PA to threaten a
forfeit then you had better be able to back it up. I see
no way to back it up, whether we have the authority or
not. PA announcements to remove unruly fans or all the
fans are quite different, I agree they work 99%
of the time and they are the proper thing to do when the
fans get out of line.
