I see it as though theists are the ones who have to forfeit, because if you take the amount of intelligence they have as the amount of players on their team, you'd end up with them forfeiting.
This is the view one would naturally expect their opponents to hold. And so can't count for much. What one needs here is the view of the referee - not youir view.
Anyway, with regard to not turning up, as I've already pointed out, it's atheists who are lately failing to turn up for debates with theists, so, even by your rules.....
