So a CATCH occurs when, after the ball is scored over the truss, the ball is either:
1. Caught by the same robot that threw it
2. Caught by a different robot on the same alliance
3. Caught by the Human Player.

Am I missing something here?
You're parsing it incorrectly. Correct parsing is:

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