This would also be consistent with past cases, in which using an
ineligible player has resulted in forfeiting all games in which the
player appeared.

:-) Glad I could help!  And thanks for the summary.

I'm not sure about that.  The games Keith listed were ones which UAF
either won or tied, and used the ineligible player.  (I looked it up
too. :-))  There was no reference made to the games UAF lost, as to
whether the player appeared or not - it didn't matter since they don't
have to forfeit games they already lost.  (right?)  However, if
someone has the box scores produced by the Maine SID for those games,
they would show if UAF did use the player.  Also the official scoresheet.
