Punt (Active)
(Rule)Description: This player may declare a Punt Special Action; only a single player may declare a Punt Special Action each Turn. When a player declares a Punt Special Action they are first allowed to make a Move Action, though they cannot continue to move after the Punt Special Action has been resolved.
If after their Move Action this player is in possession of the ball, they can Punt it downfield. Position the Throw-in Template over this player so it faces one of the two End Zones or either Sideline. Roll a D6 to determine the direction the ball is kicked, and then a second D6 to determine how many squares in that direction the ball will travel. If this player has the Kick skill, they may re-roll either one or both of these dice - though they must decide whether to re-roll the direction or not before rolling for the distance.
If the ball lands in a square containing a player, then they must attempt to Catch the ball, otherwise it will Bounce.
When performing a Punt Special Action, no Turnover is caused if the ball comes to rest on the ground; however, if after the Punt Special Action is resolved the ball is in possession of an opposition player or the crowd, a Turnover is caused.
