How do you play DP?

In our league we decide whether to apply it to armour or injury then make the roll. Thing is, we assume that if you add +2 to armour then you don't get to apply the normal +1 you would get for just fouling. What I was wondering is whether this means that if you apply it to injury you DO get to add +1 to armour value as per usual, and then the DP kicks in later.

Any thoughts?

Dirty player is in addition to +1 for fouling (and +1 for each assist) giving a total +3.
And yes, it is a very nasty skill.
The rules stipulates that you may not modify an Armour- or injuryroll with more than one skill, but the +1 for fouling is not a skillmodifyer (skills and traits p 34).

Same as Slup, though it took us 4 years to notice

DP is NOT as good as it used to be of course....

Same as Slup
You get +1 for fouling and additional +2 for DP. This player may add +3 on the armor or +2 on the injury.

Yep, that's the official rule all right.

we have a special rule for fouling here:
DP is played 2k1.
When you foul, you re only send off on a 6 (no IGMEOY)
but if you re send off, then you will miss the next game=>Red Card.
Same for secret weapons...

I hate it. It means that in a tournament final, the best thing to do strategically is to foul every single turn of the game. Totally destroys what's supposed to be the best game of the season.

agree there zombie

I just played one of our league's two coaches that foul (an awful lot)

I rolled 'Under Scrutiny' for my handicap roll
