That's not fair at all, surely there is someone at the feds with common sense that would be able to change this? I'm fairly sure the above scenario was not Johnny Warren's dream.
I would like to think if I was in Beresfields position here, and this scenario had played out and the second game was definitely unplayable, that myself and my teammates would be decent enough to tell the federation that we forfeit and the other team can have our spot.
