Per TSSAA guidelines Schools must first try to make up canceled games. If they can’t, the opposing team will receive a win for seeding purposes. The forfeiting team will not receive a loss. In football, if the visiting team this year forfeits due to COVID it will serve as the visiting team again with the opposing school next year.
