Information about Forfeit

A forfeit can be one of several things:
  • Forfeiting is the act of voluntarily admitting defeat in a competition or contest, thereby surrendering victory to the opposition. Usually it is only done in the most extreme circumstances, in which the forfeiting party believes there is simply no way to continue under the present circumstances.
  • Forfeiting can also be done by calling off or ending a game.
  • Forfeiting is an established practice in competitive sports, but rarely done. In American Football, a forfeit is scored as a 2-0 win for the opposing team.
  • Forfeits (game), a traditional game where players have to perform silly or humiliating tasks to stay in the game
  • Forfeit (baseball) - for information about forfeiting in baseball
  • Forfeit a song on Chevelle's Brekthrough Cd ''Wonder What's Next
  • A forfeit in cricket can occur in one of two ways:
  • Either side may forfeit one of their innings, but only by mutual consent of the opposing captains. It is not a common practice and is usually only done to try to get a result in a rain-affected match; at the end of side A's first innings the captains may agree that side B will forfeit their first innings and side A will forfeit their second innings, thus reducing the match to a single innings game.
  • The umpires also have the power to award a match to side A where side B either concedes defeat or in the opinion of the umpires refuses to play, in which case the game can be deemed to have been forfeited by side B.
