Forfeit Bond
Forfeit Bond:

Mid-Game Forfeit:
- A mid-game forfeit, where the game has been partially played and called off due to in-game circumstances, will result in no competition points being awarded to the forfeiting team. The game will count as a win for the opposing team.
- The forfeiting team will not incur the -2 point penalty for this type of forfeit; however, the score at the time of the forfeit will be upheld.
Forfeit Process
To notify the competition manager of a forfeit you must do the following:
- Text your team name, competition night & division to 0434 741 627
- Notification must be received at least 2 hours before your game time to allow enough time to advise the opposition team.
- You will receive confirmation once received.
- Forfeits can also be advised through Teampay but we prefer a text message to guarantee a quick response.
- Forfeit fees are as follows for GCSDBL:
- If more than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice is given to the Competition Manager — two (2) times the standard game fee.
• If less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice is given — two (2) times the standard game fee plus a $20 admin fee.
• If less than one (1) hour’s notice is given — three (3) times the standard game fee.
How Is The Ladder Determined?
Our senior ladders are on a points percentage basis (total points possible/current points).
Teams will earn 3 points per win, 2 points per draw and 1 point per loss, 0 points will be awarded for a forfeit with an additional – 2 point penalty for a forfeit where a game is not played.
Please be aware that a forfeit will still be displayed as a loss on the ladder
