Forfeit Rules

[lundy]

I am just curious as to why there are different rules for when a team forfeits.

For Div 1-3 (and probably 4 and U21) When you forfeit you pay a fine and lose the game.

But in the masters, if you forfeit the next time those 2 teams play, the team who forfeited is automatically the away team.

Is is possible to adopt that same policy to the other divisions? I think everyone would agree that home field has its advantages. It would also mean that the teams not from Victoria could actually get all their home games as some times teams forfeit so they don't have to travel.

Just a thought, and I am sure some people will think I am crazy.

Where did you hear / see that was the rule for Masters?

I have never heard that one before - nor have I seen teams lose their home game.......even if they did forfeit their away game.
One thing I know for sure and you heard correct - there will be a fine.
