I am a little confused about the points given for a forfeit. I thought the unfortunate team left standing the bar waiting to play a phantom opposition that never show up (as has happened twice to us in the past 3 weeks) are to be given the average of their wins(it says 'average game win score' on the site). So for my team with 2 wins (10) and (14) the average would be 12. But I see from the website that our one loss (7) is also included in the average so we have been given 10. And I assume that is what we will get again for the game that was forfeited to us last night.If all games are averaged, then it is quite possible for a team to show up only for a game to be forfeited and end up with less than the minimum winning score 9 (8+1). Friends Kitty Killers were forfeited the game last night and only got 7 points. 2 less than had they won the game by the minimum score. Not sure if this is a computer error or actually how it's done. Now on the website teams are getting an average of all the games they have played and are not receiving the match win point. I think they should get the average of their wins and should also receive the win point.

Duncan,
A forfeit is scored 10-0, with a match bonus point. However, a bye is scored as the average of the team's score throughout the season, with no match bonus point.
The first four weeks of the season, the teams that were scheduled to play JR Pub received 10 points, plus the match bonus point. However, after it was determined that the JR Pub would not be fielding a team, the previously recorded forfeit scores were changed to the team's average score, without the match bonus point.
Sorry for the confusion. Hopefully this explains things for you.

Thanks for your replies & explanations L&B.I don't understand the logic behind a forfeit and a bye having a different scoring system. In my view if a team is forced to miss a game through circumstances outside their control then the points awarded should be consistent.In my opinion that should be the average score plus the match point if applicable.Cheers cb

I think when a team forfeits by leaving another team standing there shafts in hand the captain of the team should lose 25 ranking points and not be awarded a "Team Captain" pin at the banquet. Maybe a smack in the face by Lenny would also be warranted.
