What do you get for a mid-game forfeit?

Post by Digger Goreman »

Search-fu failed me....

Sitch: Khem-cheese taking the stuffing outta the Skaven and the score is 1-1 in the second half and the rats can only field 2 players.... In the end a fellow coach/spectator talked him out of a forfeit (good thing as the tie held).... However, had he forfeited...

Is it a win/loss/tie?

What is the final score?

Are there any concessions? (I'm thinking, "no"....)

Extra rules section: conceding when you can field 2 or less incure no additional penalties. Conceding is giving up, so a loss. Score stays the same. End of game sequence is the same as any other game. Roll for FF, money, MVP keeping in mind winner and loser.

p.29 wrote:Remember that teams that concede a match do not receive any winnings.
p.29 again wrote:CONCEDING
A player that concedes (see page 15) before setting up for a kick-off where he could only field 2 or less players suffers no
additional penalties. If one coach concedes the match for any other reason then the winner gains all of the loser’s winnings and MVP from this match. In addition, the loser automatically loses one Fan Factor and may not roll for a new one, and any players in the loser’s team that have 51 SPPs or more will leave the team on a D6 roll of 1-3. Roll separately for each player with 51 or more SPPs to see if they leave.
It's not spelt out specifically in the CRP (or the older LRBs) but as it should go down as a loss/win respectively the TDs should be adjusted as necessary (if you define TDs as a means of measuring w/l).

If he had any KOs you would score a point move your marker, he rolls for KOs until he had 3 or more players to field (scoring each time for the unsuccesssful event moving the turn markers forward)(also non of your players get spps for the "free" TDs)
<I lost a game 9 to 2 this way, I did score my second TD with 4 players :D >

If he outright quits then follow above

In our league conceeding a match, either before the match or midway through, is treated this way:

For the purpose of SPP both teams gain any SPP they may have generated from Blocks, TD's and so on. The conceeding team gains no MVP and as per the rulebook the other (winning) team gets 2 MVP rolls.
For Cash gain the conceeding team gets nothing and the winning team gets 2 rolls for winnings, and may re-roll them both.
For the purpose of Touchdown Difference (which is quite important in our leauge), regardless of the score at the moment of concession, the winning team is considerd to have won 3-0.

Conceeding is frowned upon for us and the worst case, but best example, was an Ogre coach who conceeded when he was 1-0 up after 6 turs because he had used his Apoth on one Ogre and couldn't stand the thought of another MightyBlow Black Orc pounding an Ogre into dust!!

Damn right! That's why we play always try to play OT... we want a winner!

I remember I had 3 of the team stripped from my roster after one game (2 killed and a catcher with -1ST). IIRC the nurgle player only managed a draw at the end of the match...hehhehehehe.

The free TD is awarded if an opponent can field no players, in this case the skaven could field two. Less than three on the LOS is when you get the option to concede without penalties if you want to.

we were doing a human knock out league - once you are 3 down and have 8 players left it doesnt seem worth playing the second half!!!!

Just got into a 2:1 grind against some nasty orcs with some WE. 8 dead and injured, 15 players on the team... 2 K'Oed. And it went to overtime. When you have 7 to defend and the DaI box keeps filling up, I could not quit, too many players above 51spp.
