  1. As the person before said, if a player cannot finish the game, they must forfeit, even if they are winning 6-0, 6-0, 5-0.

    If you quit, you lose.

    There is no saying, "Ok, I'm winning, but I can't finish, so let's come back next week."

    I guess if the lead is large enough and the injury isn't severe, the injured player could attempt to finish off the match.


  2. If a person is injured then they automatically lose the match, unless of course he/she decides to play through it, which I would do if I was up 6-0, 5-0, like the people above said.

  3. The injured player forfeits if he can't continue to play.

  4. The injured player loses even if they were up 6-0, 5-0  

    They retire (forfeit)


  5. game is awarded to opponent
