Turnover question (inaccurate pass caught by team-mate)

The rules are sometimes like chinese whispers, after you've played a few games without checking the manual they kinda change in your head!
For example i forgot you could catch the ball after fumbles and throwins and not suffer a turn over, i've lost SOME games due to that i believe!

If you catch the ball after a fumble, it is a turnover.

Crowd trow-ins still result in a turnover if the ball went out of play due to a fumble or failed pick-up.

I learned my lesson - don't ask Andy (or Jervis for that matter) for a rules ruling. I should have either solved the problem myself, or called for someone like Brian StJames. Luckily the lesson came for free.

I think the comment about Andy is a bit harsh. However, it does seem to me that both Jervis and Andy may not be playing the game nowadays, and so they can't see play balance or rules issues with blinding force. For example, I think the strength of opinion against Star Players came as a surprise to Jervis - it wouldn't be a surprise if he played with them!

I hope that the non-GW BBRC members (plus the NAF) can exercise some influence over the future of the game (epecially in play balance - influence over rules seems to be there already).

Meanwhile, is there anything the BBRC (and others) can do to get Jervis and Andy to PLAY THE GAME?!?!?!

Cheers

Maybe we should ask them to join a PBeM league

I'd bw quite happy to play either of them at TT if they wanted to come down to my local shop.

He's right: a fumbled pass-roll always results in a turnover, regardless what happens/who catches the ball afterwads.

This is also valid for TTM: if you fumble your TTM-pass roll it's a turnover even if the thrown Gobo/Fling did not have the ball.
