What happens if a team does not show up for a scheduled game?
Can we just cancel?
We take forfeits very seriously at LUG. Registration is a commitment and we expect teams to play all of their scheduled games and be respectful of their opponents' commitment and expectations. Failure to attend a scheduled game deprives other teams a portion of their season and is frustrating to everyone who traveled and took time from their personal schedules to be there. Please be respectful members of the LUG community and be courteous to your fellow league members!
Team Captains are responsible for confirming team attendance each week in advance so that proper notice can be given if a forfeit is absolutely unavoidable.
If a team is unable to secure a minimum number of players and needs to default, the following will need to happen:
- If more than 24 hours' notice is given to hello@lugsports.com and the captain's chat, a team will fill in for the game and the team unable to play will receive a default loss.
- If less than 24-hour notice is given, the defaulting team will need to pay a $50 cancellation fine to the opposing team prior to their next scheduled game.
Teams that forfeit or default games more than 2 times, may be removed from the league.
