Uneven roster house rules

Plain-language house rules when Fair Team Maker shows unequal squad sizes.

The warning exists because math beats wishful thinking—nine players in four teams is never 2/2/2/3 without a remainder story.

Pick rules before Generate teams so the short bench knows their advantage or rotation plan.

Read the warning

Call out numbers like 4 / 4 / 3 before anyone walks.

Repeat for late listeners.

Match warning to clipboard headcount.

Short squad options

Extra sub, always attack downhill, or pick direction each period.

Rotate who sits when headcount is one short of even.

Never hide the short team—celebrate the challenge openly.

Numbers on the board

Write 4/4/3 in dry-erase marker bigger than your handwriting thinks you need.

Regenerate triggers

Attendance change, wrong paste, or duplicate names removed.

Not because a fast kid landed on defense.

Log each regenerate in chat if leagues require audit.
