Postponed Games Legality

If a team fails to raise a team, that game is, as I understand it, re-arranged (although the guilty team is penalised).

However, if the innocent team already has a severe backlog of games, this is only going to exasperate the problem, and increase the chances that they too will also fail to raise teams as the backlog becomes untenable.

Surely, in this season where there has been unprecedented weather driven postponements, would it not make commion sense to award the game to the innocent party ?

If I am really cyncial, teams could even collude so other teams benefit (although I am not inferring this is the case, it could happen).

there are rules set down and the punishment does get worse for repeat offenders,,these rules cant be changed mid season.

there is no way a team could be awarded points for a game that is not played
