I will tell you if this decision was made in a real game, you would be held equally responsible. Just because you are a U2 does not mean you cannot offer opinions or even offer. This is another case where we let the rules get in the way of reality.

We were all in discussion on this. I didn't mean for it to sound like it did. Smiley face didn't do the job, I guess. Reality is that about 30 minutes after the game we realized that rule that the R rules when a game is forfeited. You are absolutely correct. All officials need to be involved when such a decision must be handed down and the rule should probably clarify that.
