When both teams cannot agree on a re-schedule date, the NISL administrative office has the authority to review all the facts and determine whether the game should be re-scheduled, forfeited, or canceled permanently and whether fines should be given. The integrity of the league shall be given considerable weight in the resolution of these matters. The NISL administrative office shall decide what action to take and its decision shall be final.
