In my league we've got an active team doing a walkover for every single game. It's obviously screwing up training minutes and (after some forum searching) seems to be impossible to get them to 48 minutes.

So, if a team intentionally does this, with the only reason being (that I can tell), to be an absolute dick to everyone's training. Why are there no repercussions or countermeasures put in place to prevent a team from just messing with everybody's training?

Are there any tricks we can do to get the minutes above 36 for a walkover game?

I don't know how you can say that unless players can get 48+ in Walkovers. If there's a way to do it, I would love to know.

Dress 5 players but it will be 43 minutes each.

Thanks. I'll have to think about that. It kinda forces the week to either be stam/ft or double position.

Couldn't you set a player as starter, backup and reserve and get 48 minutes?

Whenever it happens to me I train multi position (ie. reb or 1 on 1) or team train stamina or free throws. Its not ideal but 99% of trainees need that form of training at some stage so it is another chance to get it done.

Probably wants to guarantee losses so he gets top pick. It's really not in the spirit of the game, but it isn't against the rules.
Seems he has no empathy, and yes, he is being a dick.
