So change the requirement...it's not as big as a deal as ya'll are making it out to be


You may be right, but I think having forfeits because of schedule mixups is a pretty big deal. Referees and one set of players, coaches, fans, etc. show up and don't get to play. In the case of RNE, the team is charged with a forfeit that the players and parents knew nothing about and they didn't get a chance to play either. The parents and players I talked to yesterday were pretty shocked and upset about it.
