Having their manager suspended for the following game will penalize teams that do not complete their game duties on the first offense. Having to forfeit the following game will penalize the team that do not complete their game duties on the second offense.
Do NOT come to league officials (commissioners and officers of the boeard) to complain about things not being done as a way to get other coaches suspended or cause teams to forfeit games. League officials will handle each offense as league officials discover them.
