Your opponent can't get 48 minutes for 1 player in the same position.

Your opponent can't get 48 minutes for 1 player in the same position.

Sorry?

Just to understand, let's say that I forfeit the game, and my opponent only dresses one player in each role.
Will his players get 48 minutes each (well, provided they don't get fouled out or injured) or what?

Also, if I dress three players there will be no forfeit, right?

Thank you all for the info, I've been playing BB for a while but I've had no experience with forfeits so far...

If you forfeit his players can't get 48 minutes. For a forfeit the starter, backup and reserve are each allocated a certain amount of minutes but there is a penalty applied if all 3 are the same which prevents a player getting 48 minutes.

If u dress 3 players u don't forfeit.

If you forfeit, your opponent gets the following minutes:
Starter = 36 minutes
Backup = 10 minutes
Reserve = 2 minutes

If any player is set as the starter and backup at a position, he only gets 41 minutes total (5 minute penalty for starter + backup -> 36 + 10 - 5 = 41)
If any player is set as the starter, backup, and reserve at a position, he only gets 43 minutes total (36 + 10 + 2 - 5 = 43)
If any player is set as the starter and reserve at a position, he gets 38 minutes total (36 + 2 = 38).

I'm not sure what happens if a player is set at starter and backup at one position and backup at another, but for single position training, that doesn't really matter.

Common courtesy would dictate that if you intend to submit a WO lineup, you pre-notify your opponent, so he can adjust his lineup if he wants.

In addition to not getting training minutes, you also won't get any benefit from TIE on a game you walkover (so you'll be in an enthusiasm hole compared to actually playing & TIEing the game).

BB-Charles has often maintained that finishing higher in the league standings will more than offset the short term "economic loss" of having to pay the week of salaries while you get curbstomped in the first playoff round.
