I was wondering how the minutes work in walkovers. I know that if I put something like

Starter Backup Reserve
Player A Player B Player B

Then player A will have 36 minutes and player B will have 12. Now if I do the following

Starter Backup Reserve
Pos 1: Player A Player B Player B
Pos 2: Player C Player D Player D
Pos 3: Player E Player F Player F

and I leave the other 2 positions blank, will the minutes still distribute as I expect (players A, C, E = 36 min; B, D, F = 12 min) or will the backups soak up minutes from the empty positions? Thanks for the help.

If you have backups or reserves on the bench they will take the blank starting spots.

Starter player = 36 minutes
Backup player= 10 minutes (if he don't play as starter)
Backup player = 5 minutes (if he plays as starter - 5 minutes are lost)
Reserve player = 2 minutes
Bench player = 0 minutes

If You set the same player on few slots then minutes are cumulative.
If slot is blank then minutes on this position are lost.
In walkover match maximum minutes for one player = 71 (1x 36 + 5x 5 + 5x 2).

71??? for a single player in a 48 min game?

maybe you talk about this (198411.11)

Quoting to Azariah of Imperial Phantoms (USA II.4)

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.

It's possible to arrange in private league.
Ewentually in scrimmage if both teams are out of play-offs/relegations and train FT/ST (because these trainings are independent of minutes).
1st team should set walkover (2 or less players). 2nd team should set one player on 11 slots (1x starter + 5x backup + 5x reseve) and minimum 3 players in squad (to avoid walkover).
