Whenever a BAYS game is started but not completed for any reason, the referee does not have the authority to determine the result of the game. Instead, the referee must include in his/her game report the circumstances that caused the game to be stopped (abandoned, terminated, or suspended), including the time in the game that it was stopped and the score at that time. Except in the case of excess red cards awarded to both teams that must be referred to the Sportsmanship Review Committee, the Division Director will decide the outcome of the game from the available choices:

●       The results will stand as final

●       The game will be completely replayed during the normal make-up time window

●       Double Forfeit

●       Single Forfeit

●       No Game (the game will not be made up nor forfeited and will not count in standings).

Decisions by the Division Director may be reviewed by the Grade Director upon request of one of the involved clubs. The BAYS Grade Director’s decision is final within BAYS. 

If a team is left without a responsible adult who has a valid Mass Youth credential in charge, or if a team has more than two people ejected from a game, the referee will terminate the game and that team will forfeit. If both teams have more than two ejections, the outcome of the game will be determined by the Sportsmanship Review Committee.
