or it could be a beardy way to bounce the ball into the endzone having already used your hand-off and pass for the turn.

If the ball is one the ground there is no way to have already used the pass and handoff and not have caused a turnover by "getting" the ball on the ground.

We have created a debate in the Spanish forum about the next situation.

Turn 8. A player tries to pick up the ball and fails.

Here comes the clarification.

The ball bounces, and a player from the active team in the opposite End Zone tries to catch it.

First question. Can he use a Team RR?
2n. Q: If he succesfully catches the ball, is it a TD?

I have my own opinion but i prefer to discusse here too :p
The action (and turn) are not complete until everything has come to rest - so the ball has stopped moving and any armour/injury rolls have been made.

As such you can reroll the "catch" of the bouncing ball - and it is a TD because at the point the action ends you have control of the ball in the endzone.

The pass could actually have been used as TTM of a player not carrying the ball.

Let's go all the way then... a succesful TTM, with the ballcarrier, the player failing to land in the endzone, and the ball scattering to another player ;)

Pretty historic if you can pull it off.
