Don't understand a particular rule or just need to clarify something? This is the forum for you. With 2 of the BBRC members and the main LRB5/6 writer present at TFF, you're bound to get as good an answer as possible.

The opposing player does move out of a TZ if he is pushed back. You can read this the way you read it but also like many others do.
It really should say "moves during his own action". That would make things obvious (But is that what the rulewrighters meant?!)

Sorry, you just can't interpret GW rules this way.
They do not, and will not, write precise rules as they prefer them more readable.
Your interpretation is very nitpicky, so almost certainly not what was intended.
Didn't mean to be a nitpick. Still, is there a ruling somewhere on this? I would love to use the on-turn-score option with my lizzies (needs a double though).
In the future, perhaps the wording of shadowing could be clarified to reflect the ruling.

Duh!! Teach me not to check the rulebook in the middle of a PBeM game

As Shadowing currently reads it applies ANY time an opponent leaves a player's tackle zone. Does this mean Shadowing is supposed to apply to each of the following:
During your turn, if an opponent uses Pass Block
BBRC response: Yes
During your turn if you push an opponent from a block
BBRC response: No
During your opponent's turn if they follow-up from a block
BBRC response: Yes
During your opponent's turn if he uses Leap
BBRC response: Yes, but only to Shadow into the square the Leaper leaped from (ie it cannot be used twice to become adjacent again)
If any of these should not apply then the skill needs better worded.
Just to make things clear... (actually I was looking for something else in the list, but that's what I fond)
During your opponent's turn if he uses Leap
BBRC response: Yes, but only to Shadow into the square the Leaper leaped from (ie it cannot be used twice to become adjacent again)
I guess you can end adjacent again... but only if the other leaped to an adjacent square...
If one is even able to confuse the BBRC clarifications this will take some time...
