Match forfeits weren't all that common, although we had a huge variety of reasons for those types of forfeits--the coordinator coming down with violent stomach flu, exams, misreading emails, misreading time zones.
Game forfeits probably happened more often. It's hard to decide a completely fair policy, and a lot of the admin wanted no substitutions whatsoever. We settled on a compromise of 24h announcement in advance of needing a substitute, provided that 1) that substitute was of the same race and 2) that the opposing team agreed.
