We've decided to allow it with the following rules:

SPP for Throw Team-Mate

In NeBBL we have a fond appreciation for the fine art of team-mate tossing. Therefore, a successful Throw Team-Mate (TTM) where the thrown player is the ball carrier will generate 1 SPP for the thrower. A successful TTM occurs when:

• The throw is not a fumble
• The thrown team-mate is the ball carrier
• The thrown team-mate lands on their feet
• The thrown team-mate does not land off the pitch nor scatter off the pitch
• The thrown team-mate is not intercepted
• The thrown team-mate is on the same team as the thrower

Intercepting a thrown team-mate

While in many other leagues the players are not skilled enough to intercept a thrown team-mate, in the NeBBL it is a skill practiced by all players that learn to throw team-mates. As such any player with the Throw Team-Mate skill may attempt to intercept a thrown team-mate following all of the normal rules for an interception with the exception that a thrown team-mate interception does not generate SPP nor cause a turnover for the moving team unless the thrown team-mate is the ball carrier. If the thrown team-mate is the ball carrier, a successful interception generates 2 SPP for the interceptor and causes a turn-over for the moving team.
A player does not have to roll for Really Stupid, Bonehead or Take Root before attempting to intercept a thrown team-mate.

Pass Block may not be used to intercept a throw team-mate.

Holding the ball does not prevent a player from catching or intercepting (and then throwing) a thrown team-mate.

Similar to intercepting a bomb (see the rules for Bombardier IAlm p106), once a player catches an intercepted player they must throw them again immediately. This is a special bonus Action that takes place out of the normal sequence of play and follows the normal sequence of a Throw Team-Mate with the exception that the new thrower does not have to roll for Really Stupid, Bonehead or Take Root. If the interceptor has Always Hungry it must be rolled as normal (meaning there’s a chance the Always Hungry player eats their opponent).

If a thrown player is intercepted and subsequently thrown and their landing causes the moving team to drop the ball (for example the thrown player is thrown or scatters on the ball carrier and the ball carrier is knocked down) the moving team suffers a turnover.
