BYES<br />Some divisions may start with a bye (a bye is amissing team), or a bye may<br />appear in a division because a team dropped out. Concerning scheduling<br />and byes:<br />a. If a division begins with a bye, League Management has up to the fourth<br />week of play to fill the slot, and make-up matches may be scheduled.<br />GeneralRules                page19<br /><br /><br />4. FORFEITS<br />a. A team match will result in a forfeit if your player is not at the table and<br />ready to begin within 15minutes of the appointed time. Real Time, as<br />opposed to Bar Time, is the official League time.    page 20<br /><br /><br />The way i read this the team fofeited the match because they did not have a player at the table ready to play.  A bye is were there is a odd number of teams in a division and each team can not be matched with another team during that week of play.<br /><br />So if you have 6 teams there should be no byes, if you have 5 teams there should be a bye.<br /><br />BH]]></description>
