just having some fun at your expense...efinetely not a personal thing. As for the whole topic, I can only see that this is one of those house rules things that no one will agree on 100%.

Just letting you know that this particular question will be answered in a FAQ in the new Annual (or at least in the rules review) and will most likely also be posted on the website (www.bloodbowl.com) when it's over.

As to what happens when there are _no_ players left on the pitch - all I can do is hope that it's covered as well in the same FAQ. (I'm working on it!)

No official answer? Huh? :o

As far as I know, the LRB says that you MAY put up to 2 players in each widezone, you MAY field up to 11 players on the pitch but you HAVE TO put 3 players on the LOS.

In my opinion this means if you are not able to field 3 players (who have to be on the LOS), you have an illegal set up an can't play! We treat this as a conceded match.

Tell me when I'm wrong, OK?

You know that I'm against this rule, and we'll have to check it for 3rd season.

Leagues I have played have never levied a concede penalty. Chances are in any situation where a team can't field 3 players extra negatives simply aren't justified.

Maybe in Pbem, but in any FtF league the coach should have the right to shake hands and walk away with anything left over.
