College Football Playoff announces national title could be decided by forfeit if a team is hit by COVID-19



The playoff said in a statementthat the title game could be moved from Jan. 10 to as late as Jan. 14 if one or both of the semifinal-winning teams were unable to field a team on the scheduled game date. No. 1 Alabama plays No. 4 Cincinnati and No. 2 Michigan plays No. 3 Georgia on Dec. 31


If a team is unable to play in a semifinal because of COVID-19 cases, that game will be forfeited. If two teams from the same semifinal are unable to play because of COVID-19 cases, the winner of the other semifinal will be declared the national champion. If three teams can't play, the team that is available to play on Dec. 31 is the champion.

I understand that there would be no action on a game that isn't played, but what about futures bets on the champion. I would think that would stand when the champion is announced, even if the title game isn't played. Am I wrong?

Depends on how much you have on it would be my guess

[DrunkHorseplayer]

I have to believe that they're blowing smoke and wil make sure there's no forfeit.

Bama’s coaches positive now eh? Will be fun watching a intra squad scrimmage as the other team can’t play

This new version is detected by testing, but it sure seems the majority have zero symptoms. Don’t even know they have anything. Kind of like hiv
yet they are not letting the players play

Right, I mean it seems that the vaccine doesn't prevent it from being present in your body, but does largely prevent you from having significant symptoms or complications from it. So really only benefit from knowing you have it is to make sure you stay away from vulnerable folks -- the unvaxxed and/or the elderly or frail.

We are all gonna get it and it doesn't matter what you do. Hopefully sooner than later so we can all get going with our lives again.

Great post. This current “version” = herd immunity. From all studies abroad, it is not lethal at all. Everyone gets it. Life moves on
but these kids need to play

Depends on the wording. My guess is most future props do not mention the winner as declared by the The College Football Playoff (CFP) Management Committee. Therefore the entire market would be refunded.

Extremely Laughable! What else can you say about this control program for society. I will admit though, I never saw it coming that they would use a medical tyranny to reset the world.

So, if you asked me at the funeral:

"Do you know how their gonna come atcha?"

I wouldn't have guessed this: with a lockdown, mask, and shot; WHERE I'LL BE SAFE!

..and then it lists the 4 teams with odds.

1. Futures Settlement
   
   • Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific Sports Rules. However, where a market has no rules in the Specific Sports Rules in relation to how and on what basis a futures market will be settled the following shall apply.
   • Where a season or tournament is unexpectedly shortened all futures markets/bets will be settled in accordance with the official ruling of the relevant governing body after the postponement, subject to i. and ii. below, so long as the ruling is made within 90 days after the scheduled completion date:
     
     1. unless the outcome has unequivocally been determined prior to the interruption of the season – example Team A were prior to the postponement unable to win more than x regular season games, bets on over x games will be settled as a loser and bets on under x wins settled as winners;
     2. Where the competition format has materially changed after the postponement and any outcome that was prior to the postponement possible is no longer made possible due to the format change – example Team B were mathematically able to make playoffs prior to the postponement however a new playoff format announced after the postponement prevented any opportunity to make playoffs, all bets on Team B to make and miss playoffs will be void.

• In relation to any tournament, competition or similar: If the event is not completed within 48 hours following the scheduled completion date of the event, then any markets relating to the event will be settled in accordance with the official ruling of the relevant governing body, providing such a decision is given within 90 days after the scheduled completion date. If no official ruling is announced in this 90 day period, then bets on any market relating to this event will be void, except for bets on any markets which have been unconditionally determined. If a market is to be voided but has been part-settled as a courtesy to the Sportsbook customers, then such part-settled bets will be reversed and all bets on the market will be void.

^^ based on that it looks to me that if two teams make the final and one team has to forfeit, futures wagers on the team that doesn't forfeit would cash. Maybe a little extra incentive to take a longshot like Cincinnatti?

great comittee.

[floridagolfer]

I hope this turns into the worst kind of disaster for the screw-up that is college football. If one of the finalists has enough cases where it's right on the edge -- maybe the game should be postponed a few days and maybe it shouldn't -- it opens the door for all kinds of speculation and whether the decision favors one team over the other. It would be great if none of the three playoff games are played and the AP votes Syracuse the national champion.

I'm pretty sure the unvaxxed are saying 'live your life as you'd like' and are happy to mingle with others
