LRB 5.0 Bomb and interception

Tomas · Post by **Tomas** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 7:10 pm

Do I get SPP when i intercept the bomb ?

Rules says > A bomb may be intercepted or caught using the same rules for catching the ball ( page 24 )

If a player succesfully makes an interception after making an Interception roll then they earns 2 SPP ( page 33 ) (So ball is not mentioned there )

question number 2 > Does it means turnover ???

rules says > A succcesful interception counts as turnover, and the moving team's turn end immidiately. ( page 22 )

Under the rule of the bomb its stated:

The bomb is thrown using the rules for throwing the football. The
bomb may be intercepted or caught, in which case the player
catching it must throw it again immediately. This is a special
bonus action which takes place out of the normal sequence of
play.

I doubt that you get any SPP for intercepting the bomb and intercepting the bomb does not cause a turnover. In the FAQ in LRB 4.0 is a list of what causes a turnover.

well i guess you could say that the rules at present, as they read right now, give you spp for interecepting bombs. however, i would bet that's an oversight on the part of the designers.

i think the spirit of the rule is that you should get spp for intercepting the BALL.

You are right, but in the list at page 7 interception is not mentioned at all. This is only on page 22 in the interception chapter

We played that you do get the SPPs for sucessfully intercepting the bomb.

After all it doesnt say that you dont & its no easier than a normal intercept.

Strict reading of the rules I'd say thay yes, you do get SPP's for intercepting the Bomb.

Wheter that was the intention I've no idea.

And is it turnover ??? I think no, but rules says something other

Darkson · Post by **Darkson** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 12:19 pm

No, because it's not the ball being intercepted.

it makes no sense to have an interception of a bomb to be recorded as a stat. If that's the case, I'm not sure if fouls are recorded as casualties, but if you can get an interception on a bomb recorded, then fouls should be recorded too if they aren't already. The bomb isnt what is being carried, thrown, or handed off to get the TD, it's the ball. The ball is the initial object of interest in the game of Blood Bowl, and in football...... and the majority of the stat tracking in real world football has to do with THE BALL.
