Forfeits

If your team cannot field enough players for a scheduled game, a forfeit must be submitted as early as possible. Please read the information below before submitting the form.

Submit as early as possible. Forfeits given with less than 24 hours notice incur a fine from PLHBA. The later you leave it, the higher the fine.

Try a fill-in first. Before forfeiting, check if a registered CCBC player is available to fill in. You only need 4 players to start a game. Visit the Fill-In Players page for the full process.

Who Submits & How

Team Manager Responsibility

Forfeits must be submitted by the team manager. Players and parents should notify their manager as early as possible so the forfeit can be submitted in time.

Submit Online

Forfeits are submitted through the CCBC online form. The link is at the bottom of this page. Have all your game and team details ready before you start.

Step by step

1

Players notify their manager

As soon as a player knows they cannot make a game, they must notify the team manager directly. Do not leave it to game day.

2

Manager tries to arrange a fill-in

Before forfeiting, check if a registered CCBC fill-in is available. See the Fill-In Players page for the rules.

3

Submit the forfeit form

If no fill-in is available and the team cannot field 4 players, submit the forfeit using the online form below. Do this as early as possible.

4

CCBC notifies PLHBA and the opposition

Once your forfeit is received, CCBC will notify PLHBA and the opposing team. You do not need to contact them separately.

Forfeit Fines

PLHBA issues fines based on how much notice is given. The earlier you submit, the less it costs. All fines are the responsibility of the team, not CCBC.

Notice Given	Fine
More than 24 hours notice	No fine
Less than 24 hours, more than 12 hours notice	$25
Less than 12 hours, more than 4 hours notice	$50
No notice given	$100
Illegal player	$25

CCBC will not pay a team's fine. Any fine issued by PLHBA is the responsibility of the team. Please submit your forfeit as early as possible to avoid unnecessary costs.
