Rolling Meadows High cancels game over new-floor odor - DailyHerald.com

At the extreme level you could forfeit the game. But based on the article, there were other circumstances to what was taking place. I am sure the officials were aware of such issue.

Glad I do not have a game at that site.

Had this school at a different site tonight. I asked one of the underlevel coaches about it and he said that the decision was made before the sophomore game was finished.

So the forfeit possibility was not there, because the officials couldn't have been there to direct the team to play.

He also made the point that no school administrator is going to risk kids' safety if someone raises a question. Not in this day and age.

We'll see tomorrow night. I've got a girl's JV game between the same two schools involved in the cancellation. Wonder what the coaches of the varsity teams from the visiting schools said to each other about it.
