The Mountain West announced Friday its 2021-22 COVID-19 Game Cancellation Policy, which applies to all conference-sponsored sports.
These provisions will continue to be reviewed by the MW Directors of Athletics and the MW Health & Safety Advisory Committee and will be adjusted should circumstances warrant.
2021-22 MW COVID-19 Game Cancellation Policy: If a Mountain West contest cannot be played as scheduled due to a team’s inability to participate related to COVID-19 issues, the game shall be considered a forfeit for that team and will not be rescheduled.
If both teams are unable to participate due to COVID-19 factors, the game shall be declared a “no contest”.
There shall be no minimum roster thresholds for competition.
Forfeited Mountain West games will be recorded as a loss for the team unable to compete, and as a win for the scheduled opponent, for the purposes of Conference standings, determining MW championship participants and MW championships seeding only. Per the NCAA, this does not change an institution’s official won-lost record.
