Message: [QUOTE="Phil, post: 4460487, member: 66"] I know this is going to sound a little pedantic but the heading to this thread is misleading. Imagine someone asking you what happens if you can only dress four players for a game. If you now read the heading, it sounds like the answer is you have to play but that's not true. Luckily the OP started the post with saying that no you cannot start again with only four players. While someone might say I'm being overly pedantic and it's obvious that the intention was to say you must start with five but if you only have five and one files out you have to continue with four, that sort of true but incomplete. Suppose you start with five, and two foul out? The correct answer is play on, and it is not true that "you have to continue with 4 players" In fact, if you start the game with five players, and three foul out you continue on. However if a fourth one fouls out, The team with only one player left may have to forfeit. There's a caveat, what to confess I don't totally understand. Here is the rule: "When there is only one player participating for a team, that team shall forfeit unless the referee believes that both teams have an opportunity to win." [/QUOTE]
