hello everyone, If anyone has ever had a similar case to the following, please answer my question. If my scrimmage opponent does not setup a team to play against mine and I myself setup a team of my 5 starting players and another 5 in the reserve positions (attention, RESERVE positions, not backups!), how many minutes will my starters and reserves get?
Thanks in advance.

36 minutes and *12 minutes. I know you knew what you were talking about but just to make sure there was no confusion on his part i thought i should correct you.

I assumed the reserves would take the spots of the backups and steal their minutes meaning it would be 36 and 12 again.... am i misinformed?

In a normal game that would be so. w/o's are special though. if you only field 5 players as starters and the other spots blank you will get 36 mins that I know for sure.
But my knowledge of minute distribution in a wo is very limited so let's hope someone else can come and help us get it clear


In a walkover match, A - blank - B will lead to 36 minutes for A and 2 for B. You are correct that if a spot on the lineup is blank, those minutes are lost forever, as are the minutes lost when someone is both starter and reserve.

that is very interesting. I wonder why they do it that way... Disappearing minutes
