FORFEITURES
The PIAA District 6 committee will hand down a decision when a team with clear intentions of fielding a program subsequently must forfeit due to numbers that make it impossible to field a team, or obvious safety concerns related to low numbers. The committee’s decision will be final.
A team forfeiting/violating a contract to better their standing or without legitimate reason as determined by the PIAA District 6 committee may face further sanctions imposed by the committee.
10 GAME SCHEDULE
As schools have been given the autonomy to create leagues in District 6 athletics, a football team unable to find a 10 game schedule risks not earning points during an open week. In addition, those that have competed against that team may not earn additional power points the week said team sits idle. The PIAA District 6 Committee will make the final decision.
BONUS POINTS
In addition to points earned for a victory, teams will earn 10 additional points for every victory of an opponent they have defeated throughout the season. Example: Team A defeats Team B who has a 8-2 end of season record. Team A will be awarded 80 extra points for Team B’s 8 victories.
OUT-OF-STATE / NON-PIAA OPPONENTS
Any PIAA District 6 school competing against a non-PIAA or Out-of-State opponent should report the school’s name, state and enrollment figures to Mr. Tom Elling (sports@blkline.com). Classification will be determined by comparing the school’s enrollment to the PIAA enrollment thresholds.
