Multiple leader and Over time

Something tells me I should be experienced enough to know this but it is running through my mind with the impending final stages of the league i am in.

So.... if you have TWO players with leader, you can only use ONE leader re roll per half. Thats ok, no worries.....

BUT....what if a QF, SF or Final goes to overtime.... could you then bring on the other player with the leader skill for the leader re roll in overtime?

I did skip through LRB5 and I am still unsure.....

Good question. Here is the text:

Leader (Passing)
The player is a natural leader and commands the rest of the team from the back-field as he prepares to throw the ball. A team with one or more players with the Leader skill may take a single Leader Re-roll counter and add it to their team re-rolls at the start of the game and at half time after any Master Chef rolls. The Leader re-roll is used exactly the same in every way as a normal Team re-roll with all the same restrictions. In addition, the Leader re-roll may only be used so long as at least one player with the Leader skill is on the pitch - even if they are Prone or Stunned! Rerolls from Leader may be carried over into Overtime if not used, but the team does not receive a new Leader re-roll at the start of Overtime.

I think the highlighted passage suggests that you don't.

Yeah, I read that Joe, but it could be read different ways.

It's not a common place situation I guess.

Well, it looks pretty clear to me.

It says when you do get a Leader re-roll, and the start of OT isn't listed as one of those times. It lists those times as the start of the game and the start of the 2nd half. Importantly, it lists them separately. So they, for the purposes of this wording, are considered individual. It could have stated "at the start of each half", but it doesn't. Nowhere in the description does it state or imply that the start of "a half" (i.e. generically) causes you to gain a Leader re-roll.

Now maybe that isn't the intention, but that is what the currect wording means.

Yep, Joe's nailed it. You can only be given a Leader reroll at the start of the game, and half-time.

Rerolls from Leader may be carried over into Overtime if not used, but the team does not receive a new Leader re-roll at the start of Overtime.

This is the last sentence of the definition Joemanji posted above. Answers your question about overtime.
