A couple more questions... regarding bombs, and such...
1. Can a bomber hand off the bomb, as opposed to chuck it? True, this will probably get him blown up too... but hey, it's a tactic. 
2. If a bomber, standing on the sideline, makes the light the fuse roll... then fumbles the throw, and it scatters into the crowd, does the crowd chuck the bomb back in as a ball? 
3. If you throw the bomb to a player holding the ball, must they drop the ball in order to try to catch the incoming ball? Can they retain the ball, and let the bomb scatter as if they missed the catch?
Yeah.... we have loons in our League. |

He he oh I love the chaos my lads cause on a field...
1. Sure, nothing wrong with handing it to someone who can throw it better. Just remember it's the same risk if he blows the lighting of the fuze and for blowing the handoff...
2. That one gets house rules a lot. On the first throw then sure it could easily be automatic. (And I've used that once to gamble getting the bomb further down the field  ) However if it's later throws then I like the idea that it becomes a catch roll of an AG2 or AG1 to be able to throw it back. (reflecting the lunatics scrambling to get the heck out of the way in the seats ruining the concentration of those eager to catch and return the package.)
3. If they are holding the ball I think they are stuck holding onto it as the coach would kill them if they drop the thing. They just grit their teeth and hope to be still standing with the ball. Or at least what's left of them... |

1) I would say no as the LRB says it is done using "the rules for throwing the football" not handing it off...you could of course House Rule it to be handing off
2) I would say the crowd would throw it back in as they would throw a failed pass attempt back in...
3) Well strictly according to the book they must make a catching roll... |

1. I can understand both points, but playing hot-potato appeals to a Goblin sense of humour.
2. What and pass up all those fan casualties? I can see the logic in it being done exactly as a failed pass, the only problem being that burning fuse thingie attached to it. It's why I like the house rule of what happens if it goes through multiple passes. Though going "by-the-book"does have the bright side of granting a better chance for more player's going home in a hand-basket...(provided I can find who nicked my star-throwers hand!)
3. Yes evil is it not?  A Bloodbowl player is so conditioned to "catch" something thrown over that "sorta" looks like the ball they'll drop the current ball to catch the "newer shiner why is it hissing?" ball.
Gotta love this game!  |

| Keep in mind the LRB doesn't say anything about having to drop a ball if you need to make a catch roll. Why not a one-handed catch? |

True but it does seem to refer back to older rules where a player is only allowed to carry one ball at a time. (I remember that in 2nd edition.) LRB wouldn't have it as they likely thought we'd done away with the problem.  |

Officially I'd say no, no, they can catch & hold. Obviously you can house rule it as you like. |
