Diving Catch & Tackle Zones

Post by Digger Goreman »

Search-fu failed....

For purposes of catching an errant pass (i.e., not to the intended square), do you count tackle zones on the catcher or the square the ball is being caught in?

Digger - I believe you count the tackle zones on the player. CATCHING THE BALL (CRP p.16) says "Per opposing tackle zone on the player...-1". There is nothing in the Diving Catch skill description that goes against this, indeed it says that "he may attempt to catch any pass... that would land in an empty square in one of his tackle zones as if it had landed in his own square..."

Hope that helps.
