bouncing ball wackiness

Post by Rayphoton »

So...Here's the scenario...Human catcher use 2 moves to go pick up the ball in a tackle zone, Fails to pick up, the ball bounces to the blitzer behind him, who fails the pick up, the ball bounces BACK to the catcher who fails the grab but rerolls using catch, he then dodges out of the tackle zone and finishes his run.

Did we play that correctly?

Nope. The instant the ball pick up was failed you suffered a turn over.
You were correct to bounce the ball and see who it ended with but the Catcher could not carry on moving.
TURNOVERS
Normally, a turn only ends when all of the players in the team
have performed an Action. However, certain events cause the
turn to end before all of the players have taken an Action. These
events are called turnovers. The following events cause a
turnover:
1. A player on the moving team is Knocked Down (being injured
by the crowd or being Placed Prone is not a turnover unless it is
a player from the active team holding the ball; e.g. skills like
Diving Tackle, Piling On and Wrestle count as being Placed
Prone) or
2. A passed ball, or hand-off, is not caught by any member of
the moving team before the ball comes to rest or
3. A player from the moving team attempts to pick up the ball
and fails (note: failing a catch roll, as opposed to a pick up, is by
itself never a turnover)
or
4. A touchdown is scored or
5. The four-minute time limit for the turn runs out or
6. A pass attempt is fumbled even if a player from that team
catches the fumbled ball or
7. A player with the ball is thrown or is attempted to be thrown
using Throw Team-Mate and fails to land successfully (including
being eaten or squirming free from an Always Hungry roll) or
8. A player is ejected by the referee for a foul.

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

got it..and by that reasoning I lose my movement. Do I get to use Catch to reroll trying to catch the ball when it bounced back to the catcher?
