Forfeits:
Team captains must call or email the E&B Indoor Soccer at the Rockville Sports Arena to inform them of the forfeit (players cannot cancel a game, only the team captain) at least 2 hours before game time. The SportsPlex will then notify the other team. If a team shows up to play and the opposing team does not show up, then the team present will win by forfeit. In the case of a forfeited game, players from the teams are normally allowed to use the field, to practice, scrimmage, etc. However, E&B Indoor Soccer at the Rockville Sports Arena reserves the right to use the field, at that time, for other activities at the discretion of management.
Forfeiture will be incurred if a team has failed to field the minimum number of players (4 rostered player minimum) within ten minutes from the start of the game clock. If at any point during the game a team cannot field 4 rostered players, the team will forfeit. This includes playing down due to yellow cards, red cards, or injuries.
Teams incurring forfeitures during a session may not be allowed to play in subsequent sessions. A game clock will not stop once it has started, and it will not be reset if a team shows up late. Any team no show will result in a 3-0 victory for opposing team and no rescheduled game will be given.
If a team needs to forfeit the team will need to notify the SportsPlex of the forfeit 2 hours before the game is to start and if no notice is given the team will incur a $50 fine. If a team forfeits three times in one season, they’ll be pulled from the league, all money paid will be lost, and the team will have to pay in full at the time of registration for all future leagues.
Make-ups:
If a team is unable to play a scheduled game, the opposing team may choose to accept a 3-0 forfeit. If both teams agree to a make-up, they will be offered possible times from the facility management office. It will be the team manager’s responsibility to coordinate and select one of the available times and confirm the new game time. Failure to do so will result in the game being forfeited. E&B Indoor Soccer at the Rockville Sports Arena is not responsible for teams that neglect this rule and fail to notify the opposing team that they are not going to make a scheduled game. E&B Indoor Soccer at the Rockville Sports Arena does not guarantee that all rescheduling requests will be honored.
The team requesting the makeup must pay a $20 fee to cover the cost of the referee. The referee fee must be paid at the time of the rescheduling.
