Talk Fantasy Football

I need clarification/confirmation on the CRP/LRB 6.0 Shadowing and Tentacles mechanics.

Shadowing: Coach A attempts to dodge Player A away from opposing player, Player B. Coach B declares Player B uses skill. Coach A rolls 2d6. Dice Roll plus Player A MA minus Player B MA must exceed 7 for Player A to "escape". So, the person rolling the dice "succeeds" when the roll to use the skill "fails" (or, Coach A wants the skill to "fail" so that Player A can escape). And, because its only Coach A who is rolling, and because it is in his Team Turn, Coach A can use Pro (if Player A has it) or a Team Re-roll to re-roll Shadowing even though it's the opponent's skill; and Coach B can NOT cause a re-roll even though the skill is on his own player.

Tentacles is the same, except the modified roll must exceed 5 and an escape from Tentacles could be attempted in the opposing Team Turn (via a Pass Block attempt) in which case a Team Re-roll could not be used.

Did I get all that right? (Because, now my brain hurts.)

You may use Pro to reroll ANY player (model on the pitch) die roll (otber than AV, IN, CAS)

Pro can only be used by the player that has the skill, so in this case, the player dodging away would have to have it in order to use it, yes?

And the rest of the Shadowing / Tentacles mechanic is correct as I described it? Because I had some one tell me that you need to roll under 7 (Shadowing) or 5 (Tentacles) to escape, which seems backward.

Shadowing (General)
The player may use this skill when a player performingan Action on the opposing team moves out of any of his tackle zones for any reason. The opposing coachrolls 2D6 adding his own player’s movement allowance and subtracting the Shadowing player's movement allowance from the score. If the final result is 7 or less, the player with Shadowing may move into the square vacated by the opposing player. He does not have to make any Dodge rolls when he makes this move, and ithas no effect on
his own movement in his own turn. If the final result is 8 or more, the opposing player successfully avoids the Shadowing player and the Shadowing player may not move into the vacated square. A player may make any number of shadowing moves per turn. If a player hasl eft the tackle zone of several players that have the Shadowing skill, then only one of the opposing players may attempt to shadow him.

Tentacles (Mutation)
The player may use this skill when an opposing player attempts to dodge or leap out of any of his tackle zones. The opposing coach rolls 2D6 adding his player’s ST and subtracting the Tentacles player's ST from the score. If the final result is 5 or less, then the moving player is held firm, and his Action ends immediately. If a player attempts to leave the tackle zone of several players that have the Tentacles skill, only one may attempt to grab him with Tentacles.

Wrong wrong wrong
If i have pro it does not have to be a skill roll
i can try to pro a block or interception gfi ect
The wording for pro is very clear

Pro can only be used on your own dice rolls. Pro thus cannot be used in conjuction with the Shadowing or Tentacles rolls by the player with those skills. It could be used by the player trying to get away from those skills if he failed the roll.

So yes you could use it on an interception roll (if the Pro player is the one making the interception roll) not if he was the thrower of the pass.
