just a quick question that is almost related.

Does a hand off earn a SPP for the player handing it off if it is caught?

No. It isn't a pass.

That's what I thought.

Just getting a bit confused. The Living rulebook says that a hand off is a type of very short pass and then with people going on about getting a SPP where the person throwing the ball also catches it. Unless you were trying somekind of dolly over the head of another player you would have to be standing next to the catcher to be able to catch your own accurate pass and in that case why would you risk an extra dice roll when you can automatically make it accurate by handing it off?

Believe me Hand offs are not passes. That section of the rules are notoriously badly written. You don't get SPPs for hand-offs. So sometimes its worth passing even if you are adjacent to the intended receiver.

I'm sure someone else can quote the chapter and verse.

Trust me when I see the draft of the LRB 3.0 ... making sure the wording of the Hand-off section to not reference the word PASS anywhere in the text. Its already got buy-off so it should happen.

I believe you about not getting SPP's. That's the way we have always played it. I was just making sure before i weighed in with an opinion and made myself look like a numpty by getting it wrong.
