BYE vs. Bye / Forfeit vs. BYE - Teams Explanation

• A BYE team is defined as a team with no players. It serves as a placeholder when there are an odd number of teams in the league.
• A forfeit occurs when a team does not have a legal line-up according to the league rules, meaning they cannot field enough players to meet the requirements for a valid game.
