Need help with a forfeit.
Played Saturday. When referee returned the player cards to each team, they were given back to the wrong teams. Both coaches put them away, not realising they had the wrong cards. Next day we have a game, give the cards, notice they are the wrong ones. I believe they get birth certificates, check each girl, and eventually sign off on the game and let it proceed. 2-0 win and score gets posted. Monday the game is changed to a forfeit and a 1-0 loss since they didn't have player cards.
Can anything be done, or is this just a life lesson for our coaches and girls. The other team with our cards wasn't playing Sunday and we are exchanging player cards with them Tuesday. Pretty sure the parents and coaches are more upset then the girls, which is the norm, isn't it.
