Conceding - What's the score?

Post by Podfrey »

If one team is winning, but then concedes at the start of their turn, what should the score be recorded as (for league play)?

And if the team concedes because of insufficient numbers (at setup for kick off), LRB says it suffers no additional penalties. Does this mean that if they're winning at the time then they win the match?

Cheers for any help!

I would say that the match counts as 1-0 or 2-0 win for the non-conceding team, for league purposes. I assume you mean how will the concession affect the league rankings? It's probably something your commissioner should handle. I believe our league handles a concession as a 2-0 win.

As for a concession due to lack of numbers, I would say that the don't win the match because they cannot continue.

It depends on how many rounds the conceding coach buys his league mates to buy off the shame :)

In our league, we record it as it was at the time of concession even though it is a loss (just make a note of the concession). All penalties are applied to the conceding coach. For our league points, we record it as victory by one point. No extra SPPs to the 'winning' team for the extra TDs.

Nope, they still lose because they had to concede. We do it the same way as above but they don't suffer the -1 FF, loss of money or having to roll to see if high SPP players leave.

We ruled it (not that it ever happened) that the losing team got enough TDs to win by 1 (no SPPs - I got overuled on that one!).

And if you concede for nmbers, you've still conceded, so you lose.

That's exactly what we went for (all those years ago :cry: ).

Minor note that if you were winning by more than that 1TD you then you kept the winning margin.
