Order of fireball rolls

[MacHurto]

It just came up in our league. When you roll for fireball:

1) You roll 4+ for each player and armour/injury immediately for each knocked down player
2) You roll 4+ for all players and then armour/injury for all.

It matters for ball bouncing. If you use 1), ball could bounce to a still standing player with the possibility to a second bounce (if he fails pick up or is then blasted by the fireball. On case 2) only one bounce if the ball carrier is down and that second player gets KOed/injured

Has the NAF ruled on this?

Thanks!

No NAF clarification. I would say deal with all the players, then deal with the ball.

I'd say you roll for each player and roll their AV etc as they are knocked down.

Fun!
I say 1 you say 2

I think option 1 is more the letter of the rules. However in option 1, the order you roll the 4+ and armour matters (corner guy can be there prone or get KOed, not warranting another bounce) while in option 2 (rolling for scatter after all the armour rolls) order doesnt matter. As it can be tricky deciding who decides the order, I would lean to option 2.

It is how most people play it, I think.

After thinking back on games in the past I actually play option 2.

Isn't this fun
