Kaneland vs Naperville Central ???

[gags33]

If both Hinsdale programs cannot play, would that mean Kaneland and Naperville Central will start the season 1-0? Since the schedules are set, is it a win by forfeit??

Could kaneland and Naperville Central set up a game with no bearing to their record??

You can’t take a forfeit and play a game. You either get a forfeit and don’t play or you schedule a game and give up your forfeit victory.

Would both teams give up the easy W?

Doubt it.

Could they set up a "scrimmage" that week? Nothing official?

Any idea when this rule changed?

Playoff points?

Scrimmages still illegal, no?

Scrimmages still illegal, no?

Just educated myself that full contact scrimmages are in fact STILL illegal.

Have no fear, once districts start every team will get two!

Not for lower levels.

It's been that way as long as I can remember.

Can they set up a Saturday “JV” game and just play everyone?

 

[brucealmighy]

The question posed could apply to every week of the season. Will everyone that was schedule to play a Hinsdale take a forfeit W?

 

[gags33]

I like Scotties idea...... Loophole? Freshman could get a game in too.

Why not have everyone who had a Hinsdale opponent take the forfeit and play a Friday night "JV" contest instead against each other...At some point I'm guessing that the IHSA would have an opinion on this...And I'm thinking the West Suburban Silver & Gold have thought about a solution to this issue, probably involving the teams playing each other...

Or if the referendum fails to pass and the district decides that instead of dropping football, they go with a co-op, that causes bigger problems for scheduling...

 

[ScottieKnows]

The conference already has a crossover game. If they switch up their schedule and add a second Gold vs. Silver crossover game they don't have to forfeit any games.

 

[brucealmighy]

Potentially issue is each team has a permenant crossover and a rotating crossover. Based on last year’s schedule, OPRF and Morton would have played back to back weeks

It's been that way as long as I can remember.

1984 Shepard on strike forfeit to Sandburg.Sandburg gets a win.Eisenhower on strike forfeits to Bloom Trail which gets a win.Sandburg plays Bloom Trail and wins but doesn’t count for playoffs but overall records

One of many examples
