Rules Question

The rules states the game procedes from turn to turn, but never makes mention of what you do once a ballcarrier is tackled or falls down?

Do you sent up again like American football or are you forced to stand and start again like in rugby?

Also, if a ball carrier is tackled (blocked) do they fumble? An explanation of the blocking process in the rules included "roll for scatter" as the last element of blocking. Thanks.

Once the ball carrier is tackled, the ball is knocked loose, scatters one square, and you keep playing the ball is "loose" ... run someone else from your team over and pick it up and start running for the endzone.

And yes, you could say that a tackled player fumbles the ball. ... it scatters one square from the square he falls down in.
