Picking up a scattering ball

Post by Mocaiv »

Sure this has been asked before and I'm sure I have the answer...but...

A player with the ball drops it/gets tackled and it scatters into a square with another player. There are no opposing tackle zones on him. Does he get +1 to the pick up attempt or not?

Nope, and it's a Catch roll, not a pick-up.

(Pick up a stationary ball, so Sure Hands can be used,
Catch a bouncing ball, so Catch can be used.)

Currently an ex-Blood Bowl coach, most likely to be found dying to Armoured Skeletons in the frozen ruins of Felstad, or bleeding into the arena sands of Rome or burning rubber for Mars' entertainment.

Hi Mocaiv. Loooonnngggg time no see. Glad to see you drop in.

Darkson's got it right. A bouncing ball is a catch and it's +0. You can use the Catch skill though if you have it.
