12 players on the pitch

how do you deal with it. turned up yesterday (never seen it happen before)

i'm told that there's a convention that the offending coach has to immediatly remove 1 player of the other's choosing. is this correct. thanks

Just solve it between gentlemen.

If it's an honest mistake, I allow the opponent to just remove a player of his choice. Sometimes we roll a random player if he feels really guilty.

If someone consistently makes this 'mistake', I remove the coach.

Great reply I thought random would have been fair. d

We usually call a IP for the ofending player, and you choose wich model he has to remove.
Same applies if s/he ever puts 3 players in a widezone.

That's how we've always played it - it means "forgetting" isn't rewarded

I can see sometimes not noticing that you've set up 12, but it's an almost subconscious check (by BOTH players really) that at least one of you should catch the 3 in a wide zone error before the kickoff is worked out, and simply correct it then with no penalty.

I know many Europeans don't see much NFL, but you watch when there is a kick off (or kick return.) There is always the 1 guy way in the back counting how many team mates he has on the field with him...

The same thing applies to bloodbowl to me.

If I'm taking the kick, I count my opponent's kicking formation to see if he has 11 or not (and that the LOS and flanks are legal). Then I set up. And I count my guys (again, 11 and LOS and flanks) before announcing I'm ready for the ball to be placed...

When I kick, I set up and then count my men (all parts). After my opponent sets up I count his men to see if he has 11 or not (yup). Then I place the ball.

It was pretty old hat in the league I was in. We just got into the habit.

The feeling is that it is both coaches responsibility to ensure Nuffle's sacred 11 was upheld. To that end, if a 12 man or another illegal set up had gotten past both coaches.. we always took off a random pitch. Neither coach got rewarded by choosing which player.
Both were at fault and had ample time and chances to catch it.

and yet we've all seen penalties for 12 players on the pitch (NFL). It happens
