Definitive Illegal Formation Rules

[Razz]

ok, i use this formation from time to time...

----st----st----
------amc------
--mc-mc-mc----
------dmc------
then either...
dl-----dc-----dr
or...
---dc-dc-dc---


so as im reading, is that illegal to play the latter? (or both for that matter?)
and what happens if you do play an illegal formation?

----st----st----
------amc------
--mc-mc-mc----
------dmc------
dl-----dc-----dr

Good.


----st----st----
------amc------
--mc-mc-mc----
------dmc------
---dc-dc-dc---

'Illegal because you need At least 1, but no more than 2, players on EACH outside flank. {the D(L/R), DM(L/R), M(L/R), AM(L/R) slots}

If you play an illegal formation, possession is 80%-20% in favor of your opponent.
Unless he has an illegal formation too .. then i dunno what would happen ... need to test that.

I'm guessing 50%-50%? As each teams 30% possession loss would cancel each other out

I'd guess 50-50 too, but not for that reasoning as it's not exactly a 30% possession loss, just definitely 80-20. I won't assume that it's 50-50 if legal because one side or the other will have the lion's share of possession.
