By way of explanation, the NJCAAE uses a queue system which pairs teams against each other randomly, according to the number of teams. When there is an odd number, one team must receive a bye. While it is uncommon for one team to have several byes in the season, it's not unheard of.

Statement from NJCAAE Director Matt King, "The NJCAAE has recently transitioned to a smart queue system. Previously, all matches had to be generated by hand.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Make up matches will be set for Thursday, Oct 17th at 5:30pm"
