MFL HOUSE RULES (Continued 3 of 4)

Forfeited Games
If a team fails to show for a scheduled match, the referee shall allow a 5 minute grace period. After the 5 minutes, if the team has not yet arrived or does not have enough players to field a team, the game will be forfeited. The game will be tallied as a 4 to 0 loss for the forfeiting team and a 4 to 0 win for their opponent.

If the referee terminates a match for reasons other than an act of God or field conditions, the MFL Competition Committee will decide the result of the match after hearing the official reason from the referee, and both coaches. Teams forfeiting any matches will not receive a refund on their registration fee.

Point System
The determination within the group standings is as follows: 3 points for a win 1 point for a tie 0 points for a loss Forfeited games are recorded as a 4 - 0 loss
