In Response To: Tournament Rules and Guidelines (Chris Haviland)

Well, it's been a long time coming and, seeing that I was one of the TDs that asked for a rewrite I suppose I'd better read it all. Once I have done so I will consider adopting (or adapting) for Biba use.

However; I am not in favour of allowing dice to land upon checkers. It might save time now and again but this time-saving might well be offset by the disagreements over is it or isn't legally flat on the checker? With the good old, flat on the playing surface rule, it was much easier to judge cocked or not cocked.
