Coach P,
..."can the scysa official deny the request for additional time?" I thought we had ten minutes (no more of course)...

Was it the referee or an SCYSA official who denied your request?

My understanding is that if you have at least 7 players you must start at the scheduled time. Since you must have at least 7 to play, you would forfeit if you did not have 7 at the end of the grace period.
