Situation: We played last night and the other team requested a double post. We played the match and then someone told us this isn't allowed in the last 2 weeks of the schedule. Do we get the forfeit?

Captains and players on all teams should be aware of the rules or at least where to find them. The app contains both the bylaws and the OTM, which can be searched electronically. Always refer to the bylaws first, as they take precedence over the OTM during regular sessions and playoffs.
OTM = Official Team Manual
