Interceptions
If players from different teams are eligible to make an interception the player closest to the throwing
player may make the attempt first. If two or more players are equally close than the coaches roll off to
determine which player may make the first attempt. If the first player fails to intercept the next player
gets a chance, if the second player fails to make and interception a player from the third team gets a
chance. However, each team may only make one interception attempt. If an interception attempt
is successful and followed by a successful safe throw roll, a team who has not yet attempted to
intercept can still try with one of their players. Safe throw may be used on all successful interceptions
in any given turn. For example a pass may be intercepted 3 times, each time by a player from a
different team; the thrower gets to roll for safe throw in each case.
Tournament Points
There are three ways to earn points from games at Deathbowl XI. The first is by beating or tying the
coach who is defending the end zone directly across from you on the table. The second is by scoring
more TDs than the other three coaches on the table. And finally a bonus point can be gained by
causing more CAS (from blocks) than any of the other coaches at the table.
