3.1.4:
A CATCH occurs when a BALL SCORED over the TRUSS by a ROBOT’S ALLIANCE partner is POSSESSED by that ROBOT before contacting the carpet, the ROBOT which SCORED the TRUSS, or HUMAN PLAYER.

The ref needs to see obvious possession before the ball hits the ground, i.e the ball cant just hit your catcher and bounce right out without you "holding" it first.
At least that is what i got from it.
