If you succesfully dump off, does it count as a pass and gives a SPP?

Can you Pass Block it?

Can you dump off with the same player more than once in a turn? A very rare occurence...

What about Hail Mary? It does say that you can hail mary instead of throwing, and Dump Off is a throw albait a short one...

Can a Big Guy Dump off the ballcarrier if the ballcarrier is blocked? Wink (Would be cool)

(14) PASS BLOCK does not currently work during a DUMP OFF pass.

Not in Java Bowl, though that is an error (it´s already in the differences from board game text file though).

Yes you can, though as you say, not likely to happen.

No, you can´t. Dump Off only allows you to make a Quick Pass, Hail Mary is not a Quick Pass.

No idea what you´re talking about here Razz Edit: ok I get it LOL! No of course not, but would be very funny hehe!

Edit: others beat me to it, but yes you CAN Dump Off more than once in a turn with the same player.

I think no. 3 should be a yes, in the rare event that he dumps off, doesnt get knocekd down on the block, then if he gets the ball back (the other player dumps it back to him when being blocked, or the ball scatters to his place and he catches it) - then if he is blocked a second time I think he should be allowed to dump off again.
All you people saying no, why not? LRB doesnt say anything about not being able to dump off twice if getting blocked twice in the same turn (if still holding the ball).

Would be even cooler if the BG picked up the ball carrier, bite off and dump off his head. Laughing

There is a rule saying that you may only use a skill once a turn but I am not sure if it could actually be used here since it isn´t the players turn. Since you can use the dodge skill to save yourself from a knockdown more than once (frenzy or multiple opponents blocking the same player) every oponent turn why not dump-off?

yep I think it was cleared up in a FAQ somewhere else that the "once a turn" rule Rimmer mentions only concerns the player on his own team turn (possibly even on his own action only, can´t remember which), I´m positive it doesn´t incluence skills that can be used in the opponent´s turn anyway.

You can use a skill once per turn. The rulebook is not specific about what happens during an opposing player's turn.

Dump Off should be allowed on each and every opposing player turn just like dodge, guard, tackle, and block (just to name a few).

Imagine only being able to use Block once during each of your opponents turns...

Yeuch!
