Searched for this question, came up nothing, so here goes:

If noone in the moving team catches a HMP, its a turnover, right ?

No, HMP is always a turnover regardless if it's caught or not (so strider is basically right right but it's not a question of catching the ball or not in conjunction with a HMP).

Sorry, I didn't know that

I think you're wrong, narkotic.

PBBL page 13 wrote:TURNOVERS
If a ball thrown by a player isnâ€™t caught by a player from the
moving team, a turnover takes place and the moving teamâ€™s turn
ends. The turnover does not take place until the ball finally
comes to rest. This means that if the ball misses the target but is
still caught by a player from the moving team, then a turnover
does not take place. The ball could even scatter or bounce out of
bounds, be thrown back into an empty square, and as long as it
was caught by a player from the moving team then the turnover
would be avoided!

No, I'm sorry because I'm wrong. I really thought it is an automatic turnover but it's not. I checked the rulebook and it says it is an inaccurate (=failed) pass, so it's not a turnover if it's caught by a player of the moving team.

Sorry again.

P.S.: the PBBL rulebook is clearer with this than the LRB but still I wouldn't quote it as it is not the official ruleset yet.

Oh, yes.
