SL, JL and IL), 6-0 (LL, Minors & Machine Pitch) win for one of the teams (if the forfeit is notified on
game day). To do this:

2) tap on Menu
3) tap on Manual Overrides
4) Enter the score by tapping the 0 and type in score for that team. IL, JL to SL = 7-0 and LL
is 6-0 forfeit.

Message Fans tool to inset a “Forfeit” line of text in the game’s Play-by-Play.
