We need clarification about the dice-rolls.

There are three possible dice-results:
Target down, target missed and tackler down.

I understand the rules that players can react in two results: Traget down and target missed .

And target missed is the point of interest. The target don't fall and don't lose the ball, but can react with his abilities, right?

As far as I'm concerned you are correct, they have been missed by a bone crunching tackle! no Blood Bowl player worth their salt would miss the opportunity for some sweet sweet revenge..."ow dare you try 'it me!!!!" BAM
