Pass Declaration

[Nichren]

This has probably been asked a hundred times but I couldn't find anything meaningful in my searches therefore.....

I have a thrower standing two squares away from the ball and I want to pick it up and throw it at the end of his move. So when do I declare I want to throw the ball.

a) before the ball pick-up?
b) after the ball has been picked up?
c) at the end of the move?

Can someone clear this up for me?

At the start of that players move.

Exaktly, you always have to declare the action the player will take before you activate the player: it might either be a Block Action, a Move Action, a Pass Action, Hand-over Action, Foul Action, or Blitz Action. (Did I forget anything?)

After declaring the action, the player starts its activities...

You might throw a block within a Block Action or Blitz Action (but are not forced to do so), might throw the ball (or a right stuff-player) in a Pass Action at the end of your movement - if you have any ball/player, or hand off the ball in a Hand-off Action again at the end of your movement, if you have any ball. But again, neither declaring a Pass Action nor declaring a Hand-off Action forces you to do so.

"Pass" is an action that has to be declared like Blitz, Block, Move, etc.
