This week in silly rules
Yup, it’s the old “you didn’t sign your scorecard, so you forfeit” golf rule, applied to high school football. Apparently, you have to exchange game film or something? Since the non-participants didn’t do it, then the participants don’t get to play.
It makes perfect, logical sense, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
That was me being sarcastic. In other news, Tony Larussa forgot to tell the umpire how many runs his team scored, so the Cardinals forfeited the World Series. It’s a real rule, one that has been respected by everyone, and so, a coach flubs it, and the rest of the team pays for it.
