Excluded from participation without a chance (3,2,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

out of it

I believe this is a double definition.

'excluded from participation' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'without a chance' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for out of it that I've seen before include "Without a chance" , "is not included" , "Excluded from participation" , "Drunk < , unaware what is happening" , "Forlorn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
