Really Important Rules Question

[Grumbledook]

that flow chart is well wrong ;]

there are 2 outcomes to a pass

1) accurate
2) inaccurate
3) fumble

if its inaccurate it scatters 3 squares to the final square where it lands (note scatters not bounces)

the fumbbl causes a turnover and the ball scatters one square from the thrower (still a turnover even if it ends up in the hands of a team mate next to the thrower)

if someone is on the square where the ball lands (either on target or after the 3 scatter rills if inaccurate) they get to try and catch it, if they fail then it scatters one square from them, if it then lands in an empty square the pass fails and turnover, if it goes to another player they can try and catch it, this will keep happening (even go out of bounds and in again if need be) until the ball finally comes to rest in the hands of a player or if the ball lands in an empty square after a failed catch attempt

of course there is the interception attempt in there before the pass roll is even made

The flowchart is wrong ... guys again ... don't overcomplicate this it is really very very simple.

Again:

Code: Select all

When you attempt to PASS the BALL, you have 4 states that can occur:

1)  Interception:  This is an immediate turnover.

2)  Fumble:  This is a turnover, no matter what happens with the ball in the process of it coming to rest.

3)  Inaccurate:  You wait until the ball COMES TO REST.  If ANY of your players have it when it stops moving, you my continue your turn.  Otherwise, its AT THAT POINT a turnover (ie when the ball comes to rest).

4)  Accurate:  You wait until the ball COMES TO REST.  If ANY of your players have it when it stops moving, the thrower gets one SPP for a completion (as long as he didn't catch his own pass) and you my continue your turn.  Otherwise, its AT THAT POINT a turnover (ie when the ball comes to rest).

(still a turnover even if it ends up in the hands of a team mate next to the thrower)

this kind of exeptions is somethin i think should be dropped.

It happen so rarely, and it would be so much simpler to memorize that, if a ball is thrown and ends up in an empty square or in the hands of an opponent, its a turnover.

same with starplayer points.
the thing is thrown, and caught, its a spp.

I would like to see a couple of "global" rules;

forgive me for muddying the swampy waters :p

Alright I'll take it down...

Okay after reading the rules again, the ball only scatters one square if not caught, and if the pass is incomplete, it scatters three times and may only be caught in the final square, none other.

I thought it bounced three times whether it was a failed catch or failed pass, and could be caught any time. Man was I wrong.

Thanks for all your patience, guys.

toby its not an exception, the rules is simple, if the pass is a fumble then its a turnover

there are no exceptions to that, it even applies to throwing a team mate

1) accurate
2) inaccurate
