Forfeits: Coach/team managers must notify the league officials of Real Mundial FC of their intent to forfeit. Real Mundial FC will then notify the other team. If a team shows up to play and the opposing team does not show up, then the team present will win by forfeit. The team that does not show up will still be responsible to pay referee fees if prior notice is not given. In the case of a forfeited game, players from the teams are normally allowed to use the field, to practice, scrimmage, etc. However, Real Mundial FC reserves the right to use the field, at that time, for other activities at the discretion of management. Forfeiture will be incurred if a team fails to field the minimum number of players (4 player minimum) within five (5) minutes from the start of the game clock.
