3. The school failing to carry out the terms of the contract shall pay to the other the listed forfeit fee per contest remaining on the contract unless the contest(s) is/are canceled by mutual consent. It is the financial responsibility of the school failing to carry out the terms of the contract to pay the officials fees in addition to any applicable forfeit fee. If a forfeit fee is paid for cancellation of the contest after the first legal playing date, the victory/defeat shall be made part of the won-loss record of both teams and count on the limit of games for both teams.

only a forfeit if done after the game is supposed to be played is how I read it.
