Clarification of the rules - when the rules say’s it’s a lost or a forfeit match.
It’s ok to play for a beer or fun but you then cannot claim it in the league when the rules say’s it’s a lost match or a forfeit match although it’s up to the opposing captain whether the matches are played for a beer / fun or whether they count in the league or cup competitions. To save arguments it’s up to the opposing captain to let Andy Fyfe know by text or a phone call BEFORE the game commences..
The Black Cat tried to claim a 10-6 victory over the Anchor, below the corected result and why.
