Percentage-based passing

[volcanohead]

If you place the ball down and the defender is 10yds from the ball. And a 15yd stick is used, what would I need to roll to complete the pass? Just trying to understand the chart.

The chart is labeled 1-6 for passing sticks, which represents the distances i use, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 20 yards. So lets say a 14yd stick (#4 on the chart) was used. The offensive player places the ball anywhere from 0-14 yards from his player and moves his player to the ball. NOTE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PLACE THE BALL 14 YARDS FROM THE RECEIVERS CURRENT POSITION. YOU CAN PLACE IT ANYWHERE UP TO THE STICK DISTANCE. The defense then moves the nearest defender up to the same distance as the stick; so the defender can move 14 yards towards the ball/receiver. If the defender was 10 yds from the ball AFTER moving his 14 yards (he was originally 24 yards away, then moved 14 yards closer), going by the revised charts, you would need to roll a 3 to complete the pass, and there is no chance of an interception. NOTE: If a defender ends up more than 10 yards away, you still use the 10 yd chart (though this is uncommon). Another example: 8yd stick, but the defender is 7 yards away. This is the number 2 stick on the chart, so you find 2 and -1yd and see that you need to roll a 11 to complete the pass and if you roll a 3 or less it is an interception. If the defender is closer or the same distance as the passing stick (number on chart is 0 or negative), as in this case, if the pass is completed the receiver is down on the spot. NOTE: If a pass is determined to be complete, then all defenders can move the same distance of the stick in any direction (if it was a 14 yard stick they can all move 14 yards in any direction), offensive players may not move. I hope this helps, if you have any more questions just ask.
