Why are there more than 11 players for both offense and defense?

Depth AKA in award terms as sharing the wealth.

Um, Canadian rules?

Actually, Slaton and Hart tied for second place at RB, so both had to be included, giving us one extra player on offense. In order to maintain the proper balance, we decided to add a defensive player to the team. The voting at defensive back was particularly tight:

3rd place: LaRon Landry - 79 votes
4th place: Malcolm Jenkins - 77 votes
5th place: Aaron Ross - 76 votes
6th place: Leon Hall - 75 votes​

Well, since Aaron Ross beat Leon Hall by one only vote, we included both players, which then gave us one extra on defense. So, we decided to add another offensive player to even things out. After hours of careful research, the staff of experts at BP concluded that Garrett Wolfe was the offensive player most worthy of inclusion on our prestigious list (and besides, GFORCE gave us a v-bribe).

Hope that clears things up a bit.
