Bribes

[daloonieshaman]

This rule would make a difference in play testing. I guess the best question is, of all of the matches that you guys use to consider the rules how many of the coaches thought they could use another bribe on a failure? I know all the data that I submitted for LRB5 + exp did not allow more than one bribe per call.

That is clearly written now ...
As per team rerolls
I did not read that you cannot use team rerolls to rr a bribe. (It did give a list of NO's under team rr and Bribe was not one of them)

what gives .... ?

You are not confused ... you cannot use a team re-roll to re-roll a bribe.

In the case of a foul I don't see it
The player is not off the field (yet) so it is not a turn over (still your turn)
It is not the end of a drive

That may have been the Intent by the BBRC but I do not see where that is written and in fact your response is in conflict with the written rules

Turnovers pg7
#8 player ejected by the ref (If you successfully Bribe he is not ejected so no turnover)

Team Rerolls pg14
..."reroll any dice roll (other than scatter distance/direction, Armor, Injury, Cas)
(hmm no exclusion of bribe)

Bribes pg69
"Each Bribe allows a team to attempt to ignore one call by the ref for a player who has committed a foul to be sent off ...(not quite sent off yet)... or a player with secret weapon ... (Cannot reroll SW as it happens at the end of a drive due to not being a coaches turn)

Roll d6 2+ not sent off preventing a turn over (Still the active players turn)

So according to the rules printed in the book a caught foul with a failed bribe may use a team reroll to reroll the bribe on a caught foul and if successful preventing a turnover

Bribes are used by the coach, not the player, so can't be rerolled (like wizards).

Thank you Doubleskulls
That is an answer
Galak no you can't is not an answer
When you run a league, players want to understand the rules of the game. It is our job to help players understand the rules and why one rule is this or that way.
When I ask questions it is my responsibility to play the devil's advocate to get a clear and concise answer.

[GalakStarscraper]

Galak no you can't is not an answer.

Actually it IS an answer (and the correct one). You wanted an explanation. Could have given you an explanation but I thought an answer would suffice especially since your question indicated you knew the right rule anyway. In the future ... if you want a better answer ... ask a better question.

to play the devil's advocate

Fun game. So let’s try.

Why does the Wizard's text say at the start of the Wizard's turn, and not the Team's/Coach’s turn instead since the Wizard doesn't have his own turn marker.

I always thought that there was a third team vulturing my luck in the MBBL games.... now it becomes clear.
