Dual Emergencies and the Captain Loophole

[GoLions]

Dual Emergencies

Seems to be a lot of people unsure on what's the dealio with an opponent (or themselves) who have 2 emergencies selected from the same position

Basically, if only one of them plays, you get that score, assuming you have a zero on the field of course

However, if you have TWO emergencies selected from that position, with only ONE donut on the field, you get the LOWEST score of the two

If you have TWO ZEROS on the bench with emergencies to cover, both selected, you get BOTH SCORES



Captain Loophole

Let's say I have Tom Rockliff playing on Friday night, and he is my VC. Pendles is my C
Rocky scores 160 points, and I want to take that as my captain score
On my ruck bench, I have Max King, who is playing on Sunday, which is AFTER my VC plays
On the field in my rucks, I have Todd Goldstein, who is playing on Saturday, which is also AFTER my VC plays
To loophole Rocky as my VC, I need to sub Goldy to my bench, and King on to the field. I then have to make King my C, and Goldy my emg. Once the Dees match is over, I will get Rocky's score doubled, and Goldy will cover for King scoring zero

A few notes
- Make sure you plan all this out before the round starts, can sometimes get yourself into a situation where you don't have any emergencies left, or no-one on the field to sub off
- Make sure you set the correct player as your emergency. Sometimes people can leave it on a non-scoring player, or a rookie, and lose themselves more points than what they gain
- I usually have Goldstein as a permanent emergency with King on the field, so I never have to worry about subbing players on and off, makes things a whole lot easier. However this is specific to me, it really depends who you have as a non-scoring player and who you are subbing them with, and who your VC and C are
- Generally you should loophole a score that is higher than the average of your captain, but there can be exceptions depending on your league match, a player's history against a certain team, etc etc



Hope this clears up any confusion :)
Ask any extra questions if you still have any

I'd like to say good write up but really I'm just embarrassed for everyone that this needs to be a special sticky topic in rd 17  :)

[Bill Manspeaker]

should change the name of this section from "Players & Trades"  to "Sticky Section"

should change the name of this section from "Players & Trades"  to "Sticky Section"

It's funny because even though there are like a million sticky threads, people still ask stupid questions and create multiple threads when all their questions are answered in the sticky ones.

Just thought I should mention that anyone who makes a thread about these topics will be banned immediately. The police will be notified and your parents may or may not be called as well.
