Touchback in the endzone?

Post by olsen667 »

Hi all.
I couldn't find an answer to this:
If i kick the ball and it comes to rest, i.e. after bouncing, in the opponent's endzone, is it a touchback or is the ball still on pitch?
Football rules would suggest, it is indeed a touchback, lrb 6 states "if out of bounds".....

If it's in the 'endzone' i.e. on the grid of the board, it's in play; it's only if it leaves the marked squares of the board that it's a touchback (or enters the squares which make-up the opponents half)

In Blood Bowl only a touch back if it goes outside of boundaries of the receiving team's half of the pitch.... :D
