This isn't a proposal to CHANGE the way the CFC deals with forfeits. The intent of the current rule is to rate those games, it's just that the handbook is not entirely clear. The owner of SwissSys, Thad Suits, has confirmed to me that the CFC version of SwissSyss will rate games entered as forfeits.
This amendment came about as a result of a TD looking for the policy and informing me that the handbook was a bit ambiguous.

Hi Chris & Paul:
I think the process of clearing up the ambiguity, and making it clear that forfeited games are rated in Canada is the first step. Then those who want to change it know the exact wording they need to amend it.
Then a discussion can be held on the validity of the current policy, initiated by those who want it changed. They'll then see if there is any support for any change.
