[Rule Question] TD during Blitz! Any turn used up?

[dv]

Kick-off. Ball goes into the end zone. Blitz! Kicking team TTMs someone who runs into the end zone under the ball and catches it. Touchdown.

Question: Is any team turn used up?

Someone test it! :)

I would think not. The game starts a turn only after the kickoff has landed (or given to a player if it goes out of bounds), so the score would have happened outside of a turn. Still, testing that sounds both difficult and hilarious.

No. It's a turn 0 TD.

Someone already tested this. Intense angry screeching swearing rant warning:

If you don't feel like watching that, currently both players lose a turn on a 0 turn TD, which is apparently kinda working properly. However, it's bugged in that the TD is not scored as soon as the turn starts, but as soon as a player tries to take an action. This could potentially be a problem if a player can do something like use a Wizard to bolt the ball carrier when they shouldn't be able to.

Hmm, a little research suggests that you can only score in your own turn or your opponent's turn. The ball lands after the Blitz! is completed, so your turn is over. That means you have to score in your opponent's turn and those rules apply - turn track moves forward.

so you would have to catch the ball on the kick off to be able to score.

The way I think it should work is:

Blitz! result, players moved into EZ to catch the ball. End of Blitz! turn.
Ball lands in KO phase. Caught by player.
Second player's turn starts and it is immediately a turnover due to the TD being scored - no opportunity to use the wizard should arise (be interesting to see if it did).

We'll probably nevver know :(

I wouldn't be willing to bet my wizard that Cyanide won't nick it.

ah yes, this sounds correct. It is in fact impossible to catch the ball during a blitz, so it would act the same as pushing an opponent into a TD during your turn.
