Mega Pitch Invasion!

Post by Sizzler »

Hi, all. Does anybody know what would happen if every player on your team was stunned by a pitch invasion and then you were awarded a touchback?

Bit of a funny one...

That's a great question :D My guess would be - maybe choose the desired player and then scatter the ball as if they had dropped it?

Indeed, it was the first few times it was asked as well. ;) :P

That's what members of the BBRC said when it was asked before, although it was never put in the book due to it happening so rarely (same as the ball scattering off the corner...).

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

Pretty sure this happened to Itchen - I'm sure I remember him telling me about it. I think the ball was scattered from a downed player.

The ball scattering off the corner is less rare and would be easy to "officially" errata :wink:

It would, but at the time it couldn't due to space.

Now, with a (hopefully) nicely printed new rulebook (as in new printing, not new rules) it should be a lot easier.
