I got a few more questions to the resurrection rules:
Injuries/death for the next matches??
Allies like big guys?? If yes, which team has access to which big guy??
Can FF raise/get lower after each match??
Can I have less than eleven players to start with (no, I won't anyway, but just to be sure...)
Thanx in advance

Injuries/Death do not carry over
Big Guys are allowed as per the rules in the LRB 1.2 ... access for teams is also listed there.
FF cannot raise/lower
No starting team roster each round except for getting one SKILL at the end of each game for a player of choice.

Basically play a game of BB with all injuries healed at the end of the game and DON'T do anything listed in the Post Game sequence. The one skill who get to add at the end of each match is the ONLY thing that changes on your roster from one match to the next.

My question about FF was how important it effects the KO table and the end result. I may email Andy to see if he has this data somewhere. I would be very interested if the FF or 1 and 2 were mostly at the bottom of the heap.

Personally I doubt it. There probably wasn't enough games for it make a significant difference to the overall results, and the difference between FF1 and FF2 or FF2 and FF3 is negligible. I'd guess that FF4 or above was the exception, coaches in general just took the strongest roster they could and FF was whatever happened to be left over. As I said before, Chet and Ant. were notable exceptions. Obviously, I'm just surmising here... :-?
Another point is that you'd have to create a Res. results sheet sans painting and sportmanship before you cross-reference (and there's no way of differenciating between a draw and a loss by 1). Makes me think it'd be difficult to actually draw any worthwhile conclusions. It'd certainly be interesting, but I'm not sure of how much real value it'd prove...

Interesting that both myself and Spyke are taking Amazons to A'Dam, and we've both opted to take the 4th Blitzer and FF3, whereas Chet took 3 Blitzers and another linewoman and had FF7. Is the trade of -4FF worth one more player starting with Block? The deciding factor for me is that there's random player skill upgrades in this tourney, so there's more chance of a Blitzer (with ST skill access) being chosen. If you could pick your skill upgrades a la Res; then I may well have taken the extra FF.
