IMO, it is a forfeit due to the lack of time to reschedule a game, unless of course you can get another game. Last season, we had an opponent cancel a few days before our game. It was Homecoming Week and caused all kinds of issues. It fell on a week that was impossible to fill with anyone else, regardless of the effort. I do understand that grace should be used in certain situations, but cancelling the week of should come with consequences for the team that can't uphold their end of the agreement. I would consider it a "cancel" if they can give us time to re-schedule...for us, 2 weeks is all we ask. Otherwise, there are those that will take advantage of it and it will start to become a pandemic...as goes the case the last couple of years from what I've noticed.
It shouldnt unless you are playing a larger classifications JV... say Abilene High fielded a JV 6man team and played a normal 1A 6man varsity team...which never happens
