FIBA rules state a minimum of 5 players to start the game. During the game a team needs at least 2 players able to play. That's the amount of players needed to bring back the ball into play after a score, foul or violation

Something has to be done with respecto to voluntary walk-overs.

The increasing number of walkovers is only slowed down because some managers don´t want to do this because we love the game and watching the live, and this is a handicap for us.

I have lost a match by 66 point, whereas other teams of my league willingly did not present a team.

What can we do?

I guess the BB team can easily know when a walk-over is voluntary or not.

1. They present only two players at the training positions.
2. They always play with TIE attitude.
3. They actually set a line-up with this configuration (instead of setting up 5 players who may eventually get injured).

Question is that the current balance is shifted towards the walk-over (more advantage than disadvantage).

In my opinion, someone thinking to do a walk-over would have to think it twice if:

1. They lose the training (even non-voluntary walk-overs would probably lose most of the training anyway).
2. They lose the TIE effect on enthusiasm. This is one of the things that make walk-overs so interesting.

I would not change the 0-25 result (maybe slightly up).

With this measures, taking a walk-over would not be 100% interesting, and I´m sure that WO will no longer be always the best option for some matches (only minoritary, so not a big problem as it is).

Four more WO in Spain:

From the rules....

oh damn it gives training in WO? Damn it, i always believed that this was the handicap + enthusiam thing .. I believe to cancel that was a easy way to punish WO.

What he's saying is that the team that makes the walkover shouldn't be allowed to get training minutes for his team. :)

i understand that, but probadly i messed up my reply so that the others can not understand me ;)

For the team with a lineup, the effects of tie and training should appear.

Something is going to happen with regards to walkovers fairly soon.

wonderful news ;-))
