Question: 1 / 400

What triggers a team to forfeit a game at a neutral venue?

Arriving late

Missing a player without an eligible substitute

A team forfeits a game at a neutral venue when they are missing a player and do not have an eligible substitute to take their place. In the context of bowling, each team must have the required number of players to compete effectively. If a team is unable to field the minimum required players due to a missing member, they cannot participate in the match, leading to an automatic forfeit.

While other factors such as arriving late, not adhering to the dress code, or requesting a change of venue may be relevant to the game's logistics or adherence to regulations, they do not warrant a forfeiture of the match. The integrity of the competition relies on each team being able to field a complete side, which is why the absence of a player without a suitable substitute is the key trigger for forfeiting in this scenario.
