In the "Cup Defeat" thread, the matter of ringing mobiles came up. George asked

Quote:

Does the fact that David lost by default mean that the game does not get Graded?

Here's something I spotted in Geurt Gijssen's An Arbiter's Notebook column in ChessCafe.com which seems to provide the answer:

Question In a FIDE event, if someone loses the game because of a ringing mobile, is it considered forfeiture or a resignation? In other words, does the game get rated? Robin J. Grochowski (USA)
Answer It is neither forfeiture nor resignation. Yet the game will be considered as a normal game and therefore rated.

Granted, this asks "in a FIDE event", which could mean a FIDE-rated event, OTOH, our league matches are played under FIDE rules, hence could be regarded as FIDE events.

(Geurt is the world's top arbiter, having officiated at World Championship matches downwards.)
