Realism has a point.. some.. sometimes.. when the powerfull goblin stops three fragile dwarves that want to help another one in a block.. I love that. Realism may be fun sometimes, sometimes it doesn't matter.. and game valance goes first, whenever.
I think that interception goes first because of Pass Block. Kodiak is rigth, but Pass Block is triky. |

The reason that the rule is in place (at least my reading of it) is to make it harder to just punt the ball downfield for field position. It would actually make it harder for slow bashy teams if the fumble rule wasn't in place as MV, AG teams could throw the ball to an empty back corner of you TD line and still beat you there to pick it up and score. |

and the Interception rule is there to increase the number of interceptions and the risk of throwing in interception range. |

Thanks for this explanation. You've changed my world.  |

It might help to think about what a "tackle zone" means. It means that the player is actively pushing up against/interfering with the player in his tacklezone. Therefore, if you have three guys right next to the thrower, all trying their best to prevent a pass, then their is a pretty good chance that one of them will hit the ball or otherwise cause a fumbbl. |

Sounds like a "cash in a brown paper bag" deal to me! 
Anyway, following up on something squig said... Fumbbl doesn't follow the LRB... it does in fact do it's best to follow the LRB... minor point, but one I feel smug about making! |

My complaint about the realism of the passing rules is different, and it relates to the moment of the interception roll. According to the LRB, the Int roll must be played _before_ the passing roll, which means that a player far from the thrower can catch a thrown ball before we know if its a fumble or not. If it would be a fumble - something that's more likely the farther the ball is intended to go - then the intercepting player would never be able to get the ball, but that's what the rulebook states. That's one rule I would expect the rules review board to consider changing. |
It might be more realistic that way, but the interception rule is there for a reason.
Interceptions are rare as it is (being in the right place, the -2 to the roll and such). If you allowed for fumbles before the interception roll, you would decrease the number of interceptions by quite a bit (more than 1/6th of potential interceptions would be nullified). The rules reveiw board (the BBRC) knows this and isn't about to change the way passing/intercepting works. |

It might be more realistic if we were only allowed to use Human teams with no Ogres or Amazons... as nobody has ever been able to prove any of the other races really exist. |

I guess you could make an arguement for the existance of dwarves... although I've never really seen a midget that could tackle all that well. |
