| | A Team will forfeit a battle if they fail to acknowledge a Battle in the Automation at the start of the Combat Phase, if they do not have the minimum number of players present, or if their Team fails to appear within a reasonable time (+/- 30 Minutes) for a scheduled Battle. If agreed upon, the Team Leaders involved may waive the 30-minute time limit, and/or the Minimum Player Number requirement. If waived, the Team Leaders involved will have no further recourse for complaint against a “slow” opponent for the duration of the entire Battle. Forfeiture will result in all Mechs involved in the battle on the forfeiting Team’s side being recorded as destroyed, and their salvage going to the opposing, “Victorious” Team. Special circumstances will prevent complete forfeiture, such as family emergencies, natural disasters, or any other circumstance that the Executive Council feels is a suitable and understandable reason. The Executive Council will deal with these situations on an individual basis. We have to remember that as important as we may consider this League, Real Life will always take the front seat, and Team Leaders have to remain flexible and understanding!
