Viertelfinale Frankreich gegen Rußland wird nicht ausgespielt

Das Viertelfinale zwischen Frankreich und Russland wird nicht ausgespielt.
Beide Mannschaften hatten bis zum 21. August 2013 Zeit, sich auf Ort und Datum des Spieles zu verständigen. Dies ist aus verschiedenen Gründen nicht gelungen, so daß das Spiel ausfällt. Da von beiden Mannschaften de-facto nur Frankreich technisch in der Lage ist, nach Deutschland zu reisen, nimmt die französische Mannschaft de-facto den dritten Startplatz in der Endrunde ein. Dies präjudiziert noch keine Entscheidung der EFAF Disziplinarbehörden. Diese werden jedoch erst nach der Junioren EM entscheiden ob und ggf. wer die Verantwortung für den Spielausfall zu tragen hat.
Die Information der EFAF im Original:
Status Quarter-Final France versus Russia
According to the qualification system published by the EFAF Board of Directors, France and Russia have a deadline until August 21, 2013 to agree mutually on the quarterfinal game date between their two junior national teams.
For various reasons this did not happen and no qualification game was played so far between the two federations mentioned before.
So de-facto there will be no game between said teams and the final tournament participant, which should have been determined between the two federations, will not be determined in a sportive competition.
At the moment of publication, the only national team which is technically and de-facto able to travel to Dusseldorf (Germany) to play on August 23, 2013 at 14.00 h CEST the semi-final against the winner Sweden/ Denmark is France.
Therefore if neither team will play the quarter final until August 21, 2013 (last day according the qualification system) and France will remain the only team being able de-facto to travel to Germany, France will advance to the semi-final against winner Sweden/ France.
This decision does not indicate any decision of the EFAF Disciplinary Bodies.
