These instructions are for a COMPLETE washout or heatout, that is, when no games have been completed. If some games have been completed, see our instructions on how to enter incomplete sets.

The system will automatically assign 48 games to the team receiving the forfeit and 0 to the team giving the forfeit. The Record Secretary will manually adjust the score for the team giving the forfeit from 0 to 24 games as per By-law 11b.
Instead of entering scores, click 'Mark not played / incomplete'.
In the pop-up window, select the appropriate choice and click the 'SELECT' button to save your choice.
It won't look as if anything has changed, but scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see a note saying that the 'match will be cancelled with the following reason…".
Add any relevant notes regarding the forfeit in the Match Comment box. Then click the 'Save scorecard' button.
You will then see that the match marked as a forfeit and its status will now be listed as "unconfirmed". This is correct. See below for an explanation of match status.
If you wish to make any changes, click on the 'Edit' button.
