But also

...
A bomb may be intercepted or caught using the same rules for catching the ball, in which case the player catching it must throw it again immediately.
so which one wins? SPP text saying "the ball" or bombadier "same rules as ball throws plus some extras"?

"Same as" doesn't mean it becomes "the" ball.

Yes, but my reading was in "replace where it says ball with bomb" mood.

Risk wise, it should be even more SPP. ;)

If people are going to claim SPPs for intercepting a bomb, then my bomber is going to start claiming SPPs for accurate passes.

Well he would, if he ever made any :oops:
