Turnover or completed pass?
Following situation in our last game:
Accurate pass to one player, player does not catch it, ball scatters one square and is caught by another player of the same team. Is that a completed pass, a turnover or none of the two.
Accurate pass to one player, player does not catch it, ball scatters one square and is caught by another player of the same team. Is that a completed pass, a turnover or none of the two.

its a completed pass (SPPs) bc. the pass was accurate and caught by a player of the same team (it doesn't matter if the targeted player catches it or another one, as long the pass was accurate)
its not a turnover, its written somewhere in the rules (a turnover is only when you pass a ball and it ends up on an empty square or an opponent's player) On the other hand, a missed pick-up or hand-off is always a turnover regardless where the ball ends up.

Correct, the pass is complete and counts for SPPs and is not a turnover.narkotic wrote:its a completed pass (SPPs) bc. the pass was accurate and caught by a player of the same team (it doesn't matter if the targeted player catches it or another one, as long the pass was accurate)
Only 2 things count for SPPs:
1) Was the PASSING roll that started the whole mess accurate.
2) When the ball came to rest did a member of the thrower's team other than the thrower have the ball.
A pass only results in a turnover if it is fumbled (doesn't matter if its then caught) or comes to rest on the ground or in an opponents hands.
This statement is 1/2 right. A missed pick-up is always a turnover ... however a missed hand-off is not.On the other hand, a missed pick-up or hand-off is always a turnover regardless where the ball ends up.
The easiest thing to remember is this statement
A FAILED CATCH ROLL NEVER RESULTS IN A TURNOVER BY ITSELF
This is why failing to catch a pass, failing to catch a bouncing ball, or failing to catch a hand-off is never a turnover unless failing the catch ends with you losing possession of the ball when it comes to rest.

The new version of the PBeM tool (2.4) now automatically awards SPPs for completions. To get used to the official rules, it might be worth messing around with version 2.4 when it comes out at the end of the month so you can see when a completion is awarded and when one isn't with passing.

It can be argued that the second player didn't catch the accurate pass though but that the player is catching a scattering ball.
In this scenario, you don't get any SPPs but it's not a turnover either.
This issue has come up in FUMBBL as well and I don't really know the official interpretation of this.
Galak, have you had your ruling confirmed by the BBRC?

Yes, I have had words from the BBRC on this one ... the wording gets dissected like I said above. The fact that the player is actually catching a bouncing ball is not the focus of the sentence ... its was the pass roll accurate ... then did anyone catch it before it came to rest.christer wrote:Galak, have you had your ruling confirmed by the BBRC?
Alright I've been worn down ... I'll add to the Hot List to add a few words to page 39 so that it reads:
"Completions (COMP): A player who makes an accurate pass that is caught by another player when the ball finally comes to rest even if it bounces off the ground earns 1 Star Player point. "
This is the intent ... would this solve the problem???
I'm double checking with Chet that I've got this right ... but I 99% sure I've discussed this before with BBRC members. You test when its thrown and you test when its comes to rest and the stuff inbetween is irrelevant. I'll let you know if Chet tells me I've got it wrong or right. If he says wrong .... more work for me to do on the PBeM tool I guess.
