My guard is downed. Can I active his Guard ability when it's in this condition? Or the player has to be standing to active Guard?

More in general, abilities on downed players can be activated anyway or the player has to be standing for it?

Thx

The text is there but players lose their abilities when downed....p.11 of the rule book, right hand column, first paragraph.

So no guarding when downed.

Sorry guys, my fault!

I don't know how but i've missed it... thanks

Although you have to be sensible with that rule and the timing obviously Sure Hands and Fend work before the player gets downed and loses those abilities.

"sure hands", if it applied to a downed player then when that player would become injured the ball would be ejected outa the game with em lol

It wouldn't as there is nothing about not losing the ball when getting injured.
