8. EMERGENCY PLAYERS
These are players whose priority-order is numbered 5 to 8 on your Reserves Bench.
A player from your Starting 17 who doesn't take the field will be replaced by a player from your Reserves Bench based on the rules for applying auto-emergencies.
If a member of your starting 17 (13 on field and 4 interchange players) do not play in any given round an Emergency will be automatically assigned. This Emergency’s score will be automatically added to the total points scored by a team in any given round.
The assigned Emergency will be the highest-numbered scoring player from the Reserves Bench who receives a score for the round and matches the position of the non-playing Starting 13 player. If this auto-emergency player is listed within the Interchange Players they will be replaced as an Interchange Player by the highest-ranked eligible Emergency not currently in the Scoring 17. This process of automatic emergency substitution will continue as described until there are no more eligible emergency replacement players. If no player from the Reserves is eligible to substitute for a non-playing member of the Scoring 17 no emergency substitution will be made. If the process of applying automatic emergencies results in fewer than 17 players scoring points a team’s total score for that round will be the aggregate total of only those players who have scored points.

See why I'm confused bro as it says matches the position and yet you got those like 80 points or something......
Like I know it's not gonna affect whether you beat Thing Fish or not as you'll win anyway but in a finals match it could be controversial bro....
