SFL rules are anything they fucking please, they are open to interpretation as they are extremely vague.
Tell me this, do you truly believe letting games go ahead and then teams that will lose 3 points if they vote in Livi's favour wont prejudice an appeal, because even though i'm biased to Livi i certainly don't.
Edit to say, i actually wished we'd played anyway as i knew we'd be fecked over a barrel if we didn't, not saying it wasn't right not to play, just knew what was right didn't matter as i knew we'd get shafted by the SFL's law unto themselves set up.
