Team Re-Roll Question #1
Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2003 8:11 pm
Okay, I've asked a huge number of rules questions before and thanks to everyone who answered them. However, the few question that no one did answer and that I still have a problem with, are about Team Re-Rolls, so I thought I would ask again. Firstly...
Team Re-Rolls cost you a set amount (say, for example, 50k) when you buy them during the team creation process. Thus they count as 5 points towards your 100 Team Rating. However, later on when you want to buy a TRR, you have to pay double, in this case 100k. But the TRR you buy only adds half the cost to your Team Rating (5 points still).
Now I understand all that, how it works, and everything bar the mayo, but the question why still persists. Why does a 100k TRR only add 5 points to your Team Rating (the equivalent of 50k) when it should add 10 (the equivalent of 100k)?
I know too that this is the accepted practice and indeed what the game's creators/BBRC want(ed). But can anyone tell me where in the LRB it says this is the case? It doesn't say anything under "Team Re-Rolls" on page 15, or "Team Re-Rolls and Fan Factor" on page 17, and on page 45, where it talks about TRRs costing double later on, all it says is: “A coach is also allowed to purchase additional Team Re-roll counters for his team. New Team Re-roll counters cost DOUBLE the amount shown on the team list.”
It also says that: “For every 10,000 gold pieces that the team is worth, it receives 1 Team Rating point” which suggests to me that if a TRR costs 100k it should add 10 points to the Team Rating and not 5. But that’s all I can find. Help!
