HawgGoneIt Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Are these forfeits due to team quarantining or due to failure to follow rules or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup just as I thought your team gets a L if your team gets sick https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc3340.com/amp/sports/vestavia-hills-high-school-varsity-football-suspends-practices-cancels-first-2-games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 I think it kind of makes sense to do it that way. How else would you do it? Some teams end up with a 4 and 2 record while another team goes 9 and 1 if they just take the game off the record. I'm curious as to how Georgia is going to handle this after the season officially starts as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't expect Georgia to get past 3 weeks without canceling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 I'm wondering about hypothetical things like, fans refusimg.to abide by rules and games get stopped, cancelled or whatever. How will they handle these situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will they handle these situation? I don't think that they'll stop the game here like they did in Utah, but it will definitely be addressed in the days following the game. Knowing Georgia, they'll likely threaten the public that games will continue without fans if they cannot socially distance in the future.

Then how are playoffs decided? What if there is no contests in the playoffs? Complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would go by region winning percentage, which eliminates uncertainty from number of region games played. I would assume that in the playoffs, a team getting COVID would be required to forfeit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
