um its only a turnover if it says in the rulebook it is, if it doesn't say it is a turnover then well it isn't

it doesn't say that moving a player isn't a turnover so surely moving causes a turnover???!?!

failing a catch isn't a turnover, failing a pickup or a pass not finishing in the hands of your team is

At present, yes he can give an assist, but as he doesn't have a TZ he can't stop the oppo giving counter assists.

It's not a turnover to fail to catch (pick up) a bouncing ball.

Editted cos I screwed up while typing :oops:

Does one do the follow up or the scatter first? Cause if its a follow up it would also be a pick up.

Yeah thats the way you work it out, at least this seems logicaly since:
You have to decide if you follow up BEFORE the Av/Inj Roll and you scatter the Ball after that. (or dont scatter at all if player is hurt or KO)

Just my 2 cents.

It doesn't scatter when the player is hurt or KO'd ??? :o
I'd say it does since the player falls anyway, thereby resulting in a scatter.

Apart from that, follow-up is first

In my league its generally considered that a failed catch in this case is a turn over, I need the lrb-test to prove them wrong. But I cant find it, where can I?

For the ball thing, absolutely no turnover!
EDIT: I checked the rules and in fact, yes, the ogre can give an assist but not prevent enemy assisting!

Huh?
Is this a house rule, cuz the rulebook says "A player who falls over will drop the ball if he was carrying it, and it will bounce one square in a random direction." So even if the player leave the pitch you should scatter the ball IMHO.
