Am I understanding right that the standing up is a turn ending on an action so then no free action is allowed? You do still have dash abilities tho.

IMO they wouldn't get the free action if they had to perform a challenge to put them down in the first place. I wouldn't consider standing up to be a movement.

No. Standing up is still an action and a flop ends your turn immediately.

Same situation, I would assume, as when a both down results in the ball bouncing to the guy who can stand for free. He's down so he can't catch the ball.

Actually that came up for the first time twixt me and Cal.

But as always Tom makes the official call...cuz hey, what do I know. Apparently we had the disengage all wrong!

Honestly we'll probably keep on playing it how we were.

I'll work on making standing up more clear:

So...

1) Player can only stand up once per a turn.
2) You may not stand up after a flop as that ends the turn.
3) If you finish your turn with zero jog but could stand up for no Jog than you may do so (this is not considered movement and you don't have to Dash to do so (you may also NOT take a free challenge after standing if your Jog was zero when you stood up)).

That should pretty much cover it.

And DL ... how were you doing the Disengage wrong?

Well we took the title literally.

If a player was in a hex of an opponent's front three and moving to another hex of the same opponent's front three there was no disengage.

Basically you didn't disengage until you actually left a player's front three hexes. Thinking back I think it happened because during one of the early play sessions (4 or so games at once) somebody asked what way it worked and I made a ruling with the intention to look it up later and never did. Also it's a bunch of wargamers and heroscapers. You can move around their zone freely and don't roll to disengage until you actually disengaged.

Now if you were in a hex that was in the front three of two players and the hex you were moving to was in the front 3 of just one of those players you had to disengage to move there.

The current rules on the website have the most up to date ruling on standing.

Yes that was the final decision.
