Isn’t Plethora currently defending Carmen?

She was but and as Carmen has been knocked off her broom as is not currently reading, Plethora ha diverted from her defence to attack and then will go back to finish her defence. Carmen won’t read again till she has had her defence completed. Have I misunderstood a rule somewhere l. Sorry not used to running the announcements

You can’t just give up on an announced play. There was a similar discussion in the Captains, I thought asked by Deanna, about giving up Chaser Chains.

Apologies. Deanna’s asleep and I am out and about trying to organise plays on my phone I will get Plethora to revert to her defence

No worries. We are all dusting off our Quidditch shoes. ;)
