Does anyone know of any details regarding how the NFL will determine whether a game will be forfeited??
As league commissioner, I'm trying to find an equitable way not to penalize a team if they have a player in their starting lineup that was declared the WINNER of the forfeit. I thinking the LOSER should not be awarded, but I can listen to other opinions.
If I understand the policy, there will be no moving games to other weeks, If game cannot be played in scheduled week a forfeit is declared and a loss assigned to team with infraction.
Will the decision be made before the start of any Sunday game (1PM EAST) ?? Before the scheduled start of the individual game (1PM.4PM, 8PM Sunday or Monday)??? After all postponement options have been exhausted (as late as Wednesday)??
I need to know what options I may have to not penalize a team in our league due to player(s) being on the WINNNG side of a forfeit. If the forfeit is known BEFORE the start of any Sunday game regardless of when the game is scheduled for, it could be handled just as if those players ended up in injury report. Same scenario might be true for situation where decision is made before the start of the individual game (I'm wavering here). The real issue will be if the NFL waits until the last possible minute (Wednesday). I'm thinking in that situation I would allow for the highest scoring reserve at the position be substituted for the player(s) that were on the WINNING side of forfeit. If you have player on LOSING end of forfeit that is too bad.(or am I being too cruel)
Converting to "Best Ball " format is not acceptable
Any thoughts or other suggestions????
