FORFEIT PROCEDURE

Forfeit Procedure

GAMES CAN BE CANCELED OR RESCHEDULED. IT IS THE REFEREE’S RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK THE OFFICIAL SCHEDULE (NOT ARBITER) BEFORE HEADING OUT TO THE GAME.
Referees will be reimbursed ONLY if the game is forfeited on game day AND an incident report is filled out.
​FYI: Forfeits generally take at least 3 weeks for NOCRA to receive the money from the league.


Teams do not pay the referee in the event of a forfeit.

Requests for forfeit payments must be done the on the same day as the game by the Referee.
  1. Check the Official Schedule.
  2. If the game is on the Official Schedule, take a screen shot or copy to document the forfeit.
  3. Complete the NOCRA Incident Report (select Forfeit).
  4. We will confirm whether it is a forfeit or not.
  5. If it is a forfeit, a pay sheet will be generated for you in Arbiter.
  6. We invoice the leagues for forfeits on month end.
