12th man

Post by ramchop »

Not quite a rules question, but what is generally done when a coach accidentally sets up 12 players?

It seems to be a fairly common mistake followed by a situational "what do we do now?" moment.

There are many house rules to cover this, and your best bet is to discuss it with your group and decide amongst yourselves.

We play a random player is sent to Reserves, others play opponent chooses (may or may not be the ball carrier). Some send to KO, some count him as Sent Off. I've seen a ruleset that sent off two players if you set up 12.

I've seen some say to carry on. It's both coaches fault for not noticing.

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

I seem to remember reading a rule about that in an LRB but can't remember which...
It doesn't seem to be in the CRP, though...

Or maybe my brains is just all mushy because I'm getting old and sometimes I am glad to remember where I live! :wink:

Its blood bowl and teams cheat all the time. If it was up to me I would take someone off who isn't involved in the main part of the game.
