Team Selection - A silly question

On p4 of the Rules Pack under Team Selection it states "Teams must consist of 11 rostered players. Star Players do NOT count towards this total".

Does this mean what it says, that a Team must have exactly 11 players or is 11 players the minimum?

The reason I ask is that I anticipate taking a 12 man team and don't wish to be penalised.

This was answered in the FAQ, which is here.

They worded it badly, so what is should say is that you must have at least 11 non-star permanent players on your team.

But there's nothing to stop you taking the full squad of 16, or 14 normal players and 2 stars.

You just can't have 9 normal players and 2 stars.

Thanks Spubbbba

I've also just seen that :oops:

The BB GT House Rules Pack (see above link) answers this question.

Cheers

Speaking of silly questions - what on earth are questions 10 & 11 doing in a TOURNAMENT clarification document?? Surely these are GAME clarifications. What next, something about when to declare Stand Firm in a chain push? :o :lol:

I agree they're game clarifications, but they were all questions directed to the Events team about the BB GT, so they've answered them.

I'm sure that replying to Geoff with a sensible post when he is being obnoxiously pedantic is a sign of weakness. One should reply with a snide comment about his lempsip addiction or vicious dancing talent.
