Our Rules state:
- If ballcarrier gets knocked over on a tackle it is an automatic Fumble. Shake the Box to determine possession at the spot.
- If the receiver hits the ball, it is deemed a catch. (Is it just me or does this sound funny? Shouldn't the ball hit the receiver?)
What happens when they both happen at the same time? It had never happened until playing around last nite. Thus, the dilemma as to how to rule on this.
I'm liking what DM said, call it an Incomplete. You can't possibly catch the ball if the resulting hit knocks you on your butt. Or can you?
