In Response To: Rules Breakthrough in LA (Bill Riles)

It's possible for a die to land tilted between two checkers and the wall. It's happened at my club. With the current rule it's an automatic reroll. With the "on checker" rule a debate gets started and the TD gets called over.

The other downside of "on checker" is what you cite ... getting the whole world on board. Variance/bifurcation of rules from tournament to tournament just adds confusion. Keep things simple and straight forward. The existing rule is just that. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
