@dode74 said in xb1x touchback rules:
Rulebook, page 6:
Thanks for that but the ball landed on a player and is not doing any of the things in your excerpt but rather then becomes subject to catch rules. here is from the living rule book... http://www.bloodbowlonline.com/LivingRulebook5.pdf
"A kick-off must land in the opponent's half of the pitch. Assuming the ball lands in the receiving team’s half of the pitch, then it will either land in an empty square or a square occupied by a player. If the ball lands in an empty square it will bounce one more square (see Bouncing Balls on page 13). If the ball lands on a square occupied by a player, the player must try to catch the ball (see Catching the Ball on page 13). If the ball scatters or bounces off the pitch or into the kicking team’s half, the receiving coach is awarded a ‘touchback’ and must give the ball to any player in his team."
Once the ball lands on a player you go to catching the ball rules on page 13... no longer a kickoff ... and if it then goes out of bounds it is subject to the normal "throw-ins" rule.
