Can you re-roll the catch on a blitz! kick-off result?

What is the answer to this? I'm guessing not cos the catch occurs after the turn has ended and you can only use rerolls in your own (blitz) turn.

That my reading too.
At least that goes for team rerolls.
I think catch skill explicitly lets you reroll any catch roll(?)

aye you can use Catch to reroll Interception attempts, which is out of player turn. I wouldnt see a reason why you could not use it for that purpose as well.

Catch

A player who has the Catch skill is allowed to re-roll the D6 if he fails a
catch roll. It also allows the player to re-roll the D6 if he drops a hand-off
or fails to make an interception.

Sorry, should have been clearer-can you use team rerolls to catch the dropped kick?

No as its outside of a turn.

Only Catch and Pro can be used on the roll you are questioning.

Actually - I don't think Pro could!

Quoting from memory, but I think pro is only once per team turn. And the ball comes down between turns..(?)

I better go home and check the wording

Your friendly neighborhood quote-daemon here to help. Bold and italics mine for emphasis.

Pro (General)
A player with this skill is a hardened veteran. Such players are called professionals or Pros by other Blood Bowl players because they rarely make a mistake. Once per turn, a Pro is allowed to re-roll any one dice roll he has made other than Armour, Injury or Casualty, even if he is Prone or Stunned. However, before the re-roll may be made, his coach must roll a D6. On a roll of 4, 5 or 6 the re-roll may be made. On a roll of 1, 2 or 3 the original result stands and may not be re-rolled with a skill or team re-roll; however you can re-roll the Pro roll with a Team re-roll.

Blitz!
The defence start their drive a fraction before the offence is ready, catching the receiving team flat-footed. The kicking team receives a free ‘bonus’ turn: however, players that are in an enemy tackle zone at the beginning of this free turn may not perform an Action. The kicking team may use team re-rolls during a Blitz. If any player suffers a turnover then the bonus turn ends immediately.

Hi Daeforoth,
thing is - the ball does not come down during the free turn.
It comes down after the free turn, AFAIK.

The quote-daemon returns with more text from page 18 of LRB 5.

Team Re-Rolls and the Kick-off Table
You may not re-roll the result on the Kick-Off table with a team re-roll. In addition, subsequent rolls from Kick-Off events such as the D3 roll for Brilliant Coaching or D6 for Riot may not be rerolled. A team re-roll may not be used for any catch roll when the ball lands: however, players may use the Catch or Pro skill to try to re-roll the catch roll.

That's why I said Pro could be used ... because the kick-off rules says it can. Otherwise Plasmoid would be correct.
