Rules Questions - Bouncing Balls ??? Ronnie - Sep 02, 2004 - 09:48 AM Post subject: Bouncing Balls ???
I get Confused with this rule but when a pass action is failed its scatters 3 times and then it bounces once
therefore you have to scatter it four times in failed passed action?dwarfcoach - Sep 02, 2004 - 10:20 AM Post subject:
Yes.
The ball scatters 3 times whilst still in the air and then if it lands in an un-occupied square it bounces once.SuM - Sep 02, 2004 - 07:17 PM Post subject:
Yes, yes this is true...
But in the LRB, if on the 3 scatter or the last bounce, it land in one of spaces your team is in, you can attempt to catch the ball. If you catch it successifully, it is not a Turn-Over...
Just the Thower doesn't get any SPP for the completion.Zombie - Sep 02, 2004 - 07:41 PM Post subject:
You don't get an attempt to catch it on any of the first two scatters.Inaspin - Sep 08, 2004 - 07:07 AM Post subject:
Only says 3 times in the rules, but I understand if this is superceeded by the bounce for landing in an empty square rule....just wish it said jaylazer - Sep 08, 2004 - 10:28 AM Post subject:
Actually, it does say this in the rules.
In the "Throwing the Ball" section, the first 3 scatters are handled in the Throwing sub-section. If you look on the next page there is a "Bouncing Balls" section.
This is where the "4th Scatter" is handled. Here is the first sentence of the section:
Quote:
If the football is not caught, or the square where it lands
is unoccupied (or is occupied by a prone player) then it
will bounce.

Never really think about it as 4 scatters rather 3 scatters and a bounce.
