I know the rule book doesn't use fairness, but if I can interpret a rule in a such a way to make things fair... I will.
PS... this is why I said what I did about the rule book being set-up to favor the defense. Calling a PC foul on the guy catching the ball is not fair at all. He had no chance to avoid the contact. That is, unless you say he shouldn't be allowed to catch that ball in the first place.

What are you talking about? the player catches the ball and takes about a step and a half.
Why does the defender have to set himself up in a way to avoid the collision, THATS THE PURPOSE OF TAKING A CHARGE.
Who cares about fair? Your fair is different than anyone elses. That is unfair to the other team.
