In Response To: ABT Dead Cube rule needs revision (Kevin Whyte)

Is it really a good idea to have a mechanism in place to let the new/tired/old be exploited in this way?

Since this was not a rhetorical question...Umm, no. And I don't see where anybody on any side of the debate is thread would argue otherwise.

The scenario in my post was a case of Player A cubing, by mistake, much to his own detriment.

In fact the thought that the rule was originally designed to keep Player A from gaming Player B, e.g. recubing to 4 in hopes of a drop at 2-away 2-away situation never even occurred to me, not even after having directed local tournaments for over 11 years, because I've never seen it happen.
