DALLAS – Conference USA announced on Wednesday policies for event cancellations in all of its sports for the 2021-22 seasons as the league continues to monitor all developments that pertain to COVID-19.
If a team is unable to compete in a regular season conference game/match due to COVID-19, that team will forfeit the contest, which will count as a loss in the conference standings. In this instance, the team that is available to play will be awarded a win in the conference standings.
In the event that both teams are unable to participate due to COVID-19, a no-contest will be declared. Should circumstances within the current scheduling framework allow (e.g. teams sharing an open date later in the schedule), rescheduling may be possible.
Existing tie-breaker procedures for each of the conference’s sports will apply to determining champions, division champions and/or seeding within conference championship tournaments, when applicable.
These policies are effective as of Sept. 8, 2021 and will be active until they are rescinded or adjusted by the C-USA Board of Directors.
