Ohio Cannon
The Ohio Cannon, also known as the Toledo Cannon, was a professional American football team that played during the 1999 season as part of the Regional Football League. They played their home games at the Glass Bowl in Toledo, Ohio. The team was announced as one of the league's charter members on November 12, 1998. For their lone season, Darrell Farmer was named as head coach; he resigned in late April, after two regular season games, stating that he had not been paid per his contract. Farmer was succeeded by Ken James. Although the team was scheduled to play a 12-game regular season, poor attendance and sagging revenues would prove too much for the new league. The Cannon played to a 2–4 record in their first six games. One of their wins came over the league-leading Mobile Admirals in a game played in Charleston, West Virginia, as Cannon quarterback Major Harris had played college football for the West Virginia Mountaineers. The Cannon's planned seventh game of the season was ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Regional Football League Teams
In geography, regions, otherwise referred to as zones, lands or territories, are areas that are broadly divided by physical characteristics (physical geography), human impact characteristics (human geography), and the interaction of humanity and the environment (environmental geography). Geographic regions and sub-regions are mostly described by their imprecisely defined, and sometimes transitory boundaries, except in human geography, where jurisdiction areas such as national borders are defined in law. Apart from the global continental regions, there are also hydrospheric and atmospheric regions that cover the oceans, and discrete climates above the land and water masses of the planet. The land and water global regions are divided into subregions geographically bounded by large geological features that influence large-scale ecologies, such as plains and features. As a way of describing spatial areas, the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many branches of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Forfeit (sport)
In various sports, a forfeit is a method in which a match automatically ends, and the forfeiting team loses. There are two distinct forms of forfeiture. One occurs when a team is unable (or refuses) to meet the basic standards for playing the game, either before the game begins or as a result of actions that happen during the match. In such a case, the team not forfeiting wins the match. Another is ''punitive forfeiture'', in which a team has been found to have broken the rules of a sanctioning body during a match they have won and must have the results stricken from the record; whether or not the other team receives a win in such a case depends on the rules of that body and/or whether or not they were in compliance with the rules - if neither team was in compliance with the rules and/or the rules do not allow a losing team to be credited for a win in such a manner then the result is either a ''double forfeit'' and/or otherwise recorded as a loss for both teams.
