Bouncing ball

Iceman · Post by **Iceman** » Wed Aug 13, 2003 7:26 pm

If a player from the moving team does a Block at the ball carrier and the ball scatters to the blocker or another member of his team and the playe is unable to catch the ball and it lands to a empty square. Is it a turnover? Under turnovers it is not mentioned but on page 14 under Turnovers it is not clearly stated.

no, only failing to pick up a ball is a TO
this is just bad / good luck depending on how you look at it.

No as stated many times on this forum, failing to catch a bouncing ball is not a turnover.

As already stated, no TO

You seem to be very new here, as we all were once (me not even that long ago).

I advise you to make a search first. Most items have been, are discussed. Try it, you will see it works very well indeed!

Not everytime Draco as many old posts seem to have dissapeared, but you have a good chance of finding what you are wondering about by searching a bit.

Looking at the sticky post: Rules FAQs could help too.

Especially in this case.

Asmodan. I have no doubt a lot has been deleted. In this case however it could have been found.

viewtopic.php?t=7265&highlight=bouncing+turnover

searchquery was bouncing and turnover.

There it is.

Yeah you have to make a try but some of the rarer questions might not be found, but this is one so common that you should have no problem finding it.

I did actually look at the rules FAQ and noticed quite a similar question, but thought that the situation is a bit different if you are in contact with the ballcarrier with with one of your own player compared to when your just pushing someone else on the ball. Just splitting hairs, but as this is GW game logic does not get involved too often.

Also looked at old threads, but not with the search engine. Still cant quite crasp the idea of it being in existance.

We have a group of newcomers to the game starting to play so different no-brainer-question are bound to rise up, but in the future I'll try to remember the search engine.

Thats OK

Remember that you can only push another player on the ball if there is no other empty space to push him to! The space where the ball is is considered occupied.

I don't believe that is the case, Draco. You can push someone on the ball at any time, and it will just cause the ball to scatter.

I didn't think it was, I don't have time to look up the rules now but I thought a space was occupied only if another player was stood in it. At least that's how I've always played it.

you can push a player onto the ball at anytime.
a square with the ball does not count as occupied.

Incorrect. The ball does not count for occuping a square.
