Forfeits Policy

Every effort must be made to field a team for every scheduled match.

• Age Coordinators and other managers in your age group should be able to assist in lending players

• Team members should always be encouraged to make every effort to play.

• If substitute players cannot been found and therefore no team formed, the manager will then have to apply to forfeit the game

• NB Late Forfeits incur a $50 Fine that is to be paid by the team

How does a team Forfeit?

1. All forfeits must be formally notified to the Club Registrar - registrar@berowrafc.org.au who will submit the forfeit to NSFA.

2. The Forfeit must be done at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled commencement of the fixture.

• Thursday 4pm for Men's and Mixed.

• Friday 4pm for Women's and Girls

4. Your email should include the match date and details, the reason for the forfeit and what you have done to try to avoid forfeiting.

5. Initiate the Forfeit by using the DRIBL App OR attach a completed CF11A Forfeit Form to your email advising the forfeit.

• Initiate the Forfeit via Dribl.

  • Select the match,

  • Click Matchsheet,

  • Scroll to bottom and select Forfeit request.

  • Give reason for forfeit and submit.

• The forfeiting team must also advise their Age Coordinator - they need to know what is happening and can provide assistance in trying to avoid the forfeit by helping source subs.
