The rules say “three consecutive teammates”, not that they have to be different (not that you can pass to yourself). I say we take the point and kick off again. ---

[QUOTE=Kotick] The rules say “three consecutive teammates”, not that they have to be different (not that you can pass to yourself). I say we take the point and kick off again. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=RULES] In order to score, three consecutive teammates must touch the ball. When the **third** person has the ball, they can either toss it into the goal for a point, or pass it off to (hopefully) another teammate. If you choose to pass, and a teammate gets it, they can either toss it in for two points or they can pass as well. If a teammate catches this pass, they must put it in the goal for three points. [/QUOTE] I take that to mean 3 separate people. We definitely need a ruling from **Strinka** ---

[QUOTE=Kotick] To **Kotick** , who trying to make up for the fumble by cathing the throw from **Priceguy** , actually scoooores! [/QUOTE] Nope. You can’t touch the ball again until either the other team gets it or your team scores. So, Priceguy was the last to touch it. ---

**Rubystreak** , wondering if \*\*Kotick’\*\*s pass is good because he mentions **Priceguy** but not **swampbear** , decides to clear things up by snagging the ball back. So regardless of who had it, now I have it. I hope. **Strinka** will be along presently to clear it up, I bet. ---
