One turn TD's a problem?

It's a great answer. The more they score, the faster they are likely to be retired with age injuries. That is why ageing is linked to spp in the first place, it is designed to most affect those players who have the highest influence on the game.

maybe. maybe they won't. too much depends on a single die roll after each skill. besides, a basic 1-turner already has 2 skills at least...it's going to be several games full of raping opponents before he even gets another roll, still with a better than 50% chance of success.

Any team with a MA9 (or MA8 sprint) player can score in 1 turn without requiring a quick snap or any other skills. It just gets easier as your move increases.

There are a few solutions to 1 turners.

11 Players minimum - Get rid of the "clarification" that says you don't have to field 11 players. This gives an opportunity to get at the player when they are on defence.
Kick - makes the pass harder in the first place by being deep and on the wrong side of the pitch.
Pass Block - a couple of players like this hovering near the LOS make it much harder to complete the pass to the 1 turner - especially if they have Diving Tackle, Tackle, Foul Appearance, Tentacles etc
Tackle - if you've set up deep to stop the last turn score then tackle is invaluable for turning them over
Fouling - on the odd occassions that they do fail kick the **** out of them. Eventually you'll start getting permanent injuries.
Kickoff results - Perfect D & Blitz are obviously the most useful, but riot helps too as can Throw A Rock or Pitch Invasion.

OK, what am I missing? How can Norse, 'Zons, or Dwarves OTS?

In other words...it's theoretically possible, but unlikely it'll ever happen.

Well, basuically yes ... or have you ever seen a dwarf score in one?

I haven't ... would be a scary view though ...

As Grumbledook said, it is not impossible. Not even for a dwarf runner for example.

Great question!

HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN A ONE TURN SCORE BY A DWARF TEAM (after the dwarves receive the kick-off and without a quick snap)?

If it is theorically possible but hasn't been done, I would call this IMPOSSIBLE!

I would love TTM for the dwarves! Any suggestions?!

Whoa there. I didn't claim responsibility.

I said I agreed that you shouldn't be required to put your whole team on the pitch. Jervis is responsible for the rule itself.

PS ( my personal solution to this problem was PGFI )

If somthing is possable, even if never demonstrated in a real life enviroment, then by definition it is not imposable, just realy hard to do.

The correct term would be 'Improbable", meaning it's not at all likely to happen (though possible).
