North America - Another new question about the Death Bowl. Clan_Skaven - Jul 07, 2004 - 01:24 PM Post subject: Another new question about the Death Bowl.
Ok lets say in a game, Player 'A' decides to throw a pass. After measuring the distance we see that more than one player from more than one (or two) teams are eligable to intercept it.
How do you decide who gets first crack at it?
A=passer from team A
B=player from team B
C=player from team C
D=player from team D
Z=catcher from team A
A-----------C---D----B--Z
If all 3 C,D,&B want to intercept it, would you start with the closest first? If C fails than D tries ect ect?Darkson - Jul 07, 2004 - 02:11 PM Post subject:
I'd say roll-off for it, as there should only be one interception chance (note: not an official answer, just how I'd rule it in my league).CyberHare - Jul 08, 2004 - 05:05 AM Post subject:
All three, players C D & B, get a chance to intercept starting with player C. Each opponent gets it's chance at the interception and since there are three different opponents there's the possibility to have three interception attempts as in your example above.
Now if the case was..
A---------C--D---C---Z
Team C would only get the one interception attempt.CyberHare - Jul 08, 2004 - 05:16 AM Post subject:
This is a good question BTW and exactly the kind of question I like to see come up before the tournament. This hasn't been answered before so I'll post this answer into the official tournament rules.Melifaxis - Jul 08, 2004 - 07:26 AM Post subject:
Safe Throw good.... Clan_Skaven - Jul 10, 2004 - 06:17 PM Post subject: Ok another question
Ok what if your throwing the ball, & the two oppents are beside each other & are equal distance?
A=team A passer
B=team B player
C=team C player
Z=team A catcher
A_____B______
______C______Z
This diagram, is suposed to represent two players of equal distance and chance to intercept the ball!Melifaxis - Jul 10, 2004 - 06:20 PM Post subject:
B is closer to the thrower than C. You would see his square in your pass ruler before C's square.Clan_Skaven - Jul 10, 2004 - 06:23 PM Post subject: ..
Or two players that have Pass Block?
A=team A passer
B=team B player with Pass Block
C=team C player with Pass Block
Z=team A catcher

Roll a D6.Clan_Skaven - Jul 10, 2004 - 10:58 PM Post subject: ya
thats what i figured.Melifaxis - Jul 11, 2004 - 07:03 AM Post subject:
Good questions! CyberHare - Jul 11, 2004 - 07:43 PM Post subject:
In your fist question B would be closer according to the diagram but if it somehow worked out that neither was closer than the other then you'd roll a d6 to decide who gets to try first.
Same thing goes for your second question.Clan_Skaven - Jul 11, 2004 - 08:00 PM Post subject: another
Ok heres another example...
Ok now the Rat Ogre would get first dibs on the intercept, but obviously due to Wild Animal the Rat Ogre is not my first choice to get the ball. Since my team only has one chance to intecept this Pass, could I skip the Rat Ogre & let CyberHare's Amazon Catcher go for it? If she fails, then my Gutter Runner can try?
I'm sure I could do this but better safe than sorry!Zombie - Jul 11, 2004 - 09:33 PM Post subject:
This situation is impossible. You would never sit at the same table as me in the final round!Clan_Skaven - Jul 11, 2004 - 09:37 PM Post subject: hahaha

Haha, funny... How did I know you would have some sarcastic responce!
Also Never say Never, you never know!CyberHare - Jul 12, 2004 - 03:07 AM Post subject:
In response to your question yes you could do that.
In reality though my lady wouldn't miss the inteception so it wouldn't be a good idea Clan_Skaven - Jul 12, 2004 - 04:17 AM Post subject: llol, grrrrrr.
I'm gonna luv the next few months...
Gen Con, then the Spike, then the Death Bowl!
Already people are starting to talk it up to other teams, & with the Death Bowl approacing, the idea of a chance to meet so many combos of 3 different opponents in the final match... WOW! I can't wait... (I may end up being a Gooey Lifeless Rodent Soup at the end of it all, but I can't wait all the same)!
