Abstract
Let be a pencil of plane curves defined over with no -points in its base locus. We investigate the number of curves in whose -points form a blocking set. When the degree of the pencil is allowed to grow with respect to , we show that the geometric problem can be translated into a purely combinatorial problem about disjoint blocking sets. We also study the same problem when the degree of the pencil is fixed.
