Loopy rules !!

Mr. Jensen...just a reminder (there is a difference in the way they are treated), that those two finals losses are forfeits, not defaults. By definition, a default comes up after the whistle is blown to start the match. On the other hand, a forfeit is when the match does not begin.

Defaults count as a loss in every situation, forfeits only do in certain criteria within the at-large committee room.

As far as wins, yes, they are treated identically. As far as losses, however, they are treated differently.
