That's right. Only the intended receiver can use Diving Catch. When I first started playing I misread the rule and had two Diving Catch players thinking I could throw the ball to an empty square between them and have a good chance of one or other ending with the ball. Sadly this is not possible under the rules.  |

Not unless your opponent is throwing the ball to your catcher. |

 This brings up the amusing mental image of two Elves diving for the same square and knocking each other out. |

| Another question, does all this mean that, if your catcher is in a TZ of two, you cannot deliberately throw the ball one square in front of him (assuming it is accurate) and then use diving catch to move into that square and catch the ball thereby taking you out of the tackle zones and one square nearer the endzone? technically speaking if the ball is accurate but does not end up in the square in which the catcher is in then it has "missed" |

| No, you can only try to use Diving Catch if the ball was thrown to you. If you throw it a square in front of your catcher, he can't use DC at all. |

Roll for accuracy
if accurate you may catch the ball (or attempt to catch the ball)
if the catch fails and (rerolls fail) then it is a turn over scatter the ball 3 times
It's not a turnover untill after the three scatter rolls and the bounce, assuming none of your players caught it. If one of your players catchwes the ball before it hits the ground (after the three scatters) or after the bounce (the bounce) it's not a turnover. (isn't it?) |

| Its only a turnover if you fumble the pass or lose possession (after everything has come to rest). |
