[Rules] dropping the ball from strip ball

[bobman]

I was looking the other day and IIRC the rules say a TO is a failed pick or catch. Can anyone point me to where it says this doesn't apply to picking up after strip ball?

I'm pretty sure TT the ball is dropped in the vacated square and it's not a TO if the pickup is failed by the follow up player, same as cyanide I believe.

It does not count as a pick-up, but rather as a bounced ball catch roll, failing which does not cause a turnover.

Yep just found it. Not catching a pass is the TO not failing the catch.

Sorry, being a dumbass.

Also remember that if anyone at all catches the pass (including the original thrower) no matter how it got there (as long as it didn't touch the pitch) then it is not a turnover.

In Cyanide at least this also applies to handoffs. Funny game against skaven I had, the GR receiving the handoff had catch but snake-eyed. The scatter sent it back to the GR that had handed off the ball, who caught it, so it was judged "not a turnover". Not realizing the ball remained with the original carrier, my opponent sprinted the ball-less GR into the endzone, only to realize he didn't get a TD for it.

Its not a turnover until the ball ends on the ground or in the hands of the enemy. The ball can bounce off the ground and into the hands of a teammate and it is not a turnover

Hmm.. true. Well, I would probably have looked it up anyway, but now I should remember it.
