If you have 2 players with the Throw Team Mate skill, can you make to Throw in one turn ?

No, throw teammate is a pass action and may only be taken once per turn!

Welcome on board!:smoking:

Draco said it.. only one Pass action per team turn, therefore only one pass whatever type of pass it is (no you can't pass the ball either if throwing a team-mate).

Xtreme ... when the MBBL2 goes challenge league open sign-up you should join and play a team with some muscle (Ogre, Pixie, or Snotling).

The MBBL2 skill table has some extras on it ... one you might like:
Pitch Player (Strength SKILL) - This skill allows a player to throw an opponent using the Throw TeamMate rules. However you must first roll to see if you snag the player to throw him. Make a Strength roll (ie an Agility roll using Strength instead of Agility as the stat) with the following modifiers:
+1 for each offensive assist you have (ie Blocking offensive assists)
-1 for each defensive assist the opponent has (ie Blocking defensive assists)
-x where x is the ST of the opponent
-1 if opponent has Block and you don't have Block
-1 if opponent has Dodge and you don't have Tackle
-1 if opponent has Side Step
-1 if opponent has Foul Appearance
An unmodified 1 means that the player attempting the Pitch Player has been knocked down and this will count as a turnover. Any other failed roll means nothing happened. A success means that the player may throw the opponent using the Throw TeamMate rules however the Landing roll will be done with a -2 modifier regardless of the result of the Throw TeamMate pass. Players suffering casualties from a Pitch Player play count for casualty SPPs (this includes if you eat the opponent).
It still uses the team's pass action, but its a lot of fun and its automated in the PBeM already.

The MBBL2 currently has 2 players with Pitch Player as a skill:

Sir Cumam Bient from Playing the Odds:
Joker Ace Big Guy (Minotaur)
3/7/1/9
BIG GUY, Horns, Frenzy, Mighty Blow, Thick Skull, Throw TeamMate, Wild Animal, Always Hungry, Obese, Block, Pitch Player, Tackle
1 TD/ 11 CAS / 2 MVP / 35 SPP

and

Teakoak Ironwood from Furry Foots and Friends:
Treeman
2/6/1/10
BIG GUY, Mighty Blow, Stand Firm, Thick Skull, Take Root, Throw TeamMate, Block, Pitch Player
6 CAS / 1 MVP / 17 SPP

===============================================

A quick example ... Sir Cumam Bient declares a Pass and runs over to a Gutter Runner with a Storm Vermin protecting him.
Sir Cuman Bient's roll to throw the Gutter Runner is:
0+ (ST 7) and his roll will have a -2 modifier for the Gutter Runner's ST and a -1 modifier for the Storm Vermin. Since he has Tackle ... the Gutter Runner's Dodge doesn't matter.
So for the roll:
On a 1, he'll fail and fall down with AV roll against him
On a 2, he'll fail the pass and nothing will happen.
On a 3+, he'll be able to throw the Gutter Runner.

I'm probably remove the part about the Big Guy falling down for next season and just saying a 1 is always a failed attempt to throw since the Big Guy is giving up a Blitz most likely to use the skill.
