Overview: #
Two important parts of the game are turnovers and blocking. It is important to realise what the chances are of what you are attempting to do. Blocking comes in two parts: firstly the chances of taking down the other guy whilst remaining standing and the chances that a block will result in a turnover for yourself. Knowing the probabilities and statistics for the blocking side of the game can be vital to success.
So I present the following charts involving the main blocking skills and their odds of success.
- Tackle isn’t listed as you you can just check the columns that exclude the Dodge skill for the defender.
- For Loner, you can look at the Pro rows except you lose a reroll as well.
- For when you have Block vs Wrestle, it is assumed you want to remain standing, if you don’t mind them using their Wrestle, you can treat it as though you have Wrestle yourself.

Charts showing the chances of a turnover from a failed block: #
The minus numbers for the number of Block dice represent when the player you are hitting is stronger than you and their coach gets to choose. If you want to know the odds of going prone (ie from a skull or the opposing player using wrestle) you can just look at the none skill row.
