Rules Breakthrough in LA

3.5. Dice Generation Random dice rolls are essential for a fair contest. As such, approved devices for generating random rolls such as precision dice, lipped dice cups, dice tubes, and baffle boxes receive priority. If either player wishes to use a piece of equipment that is not essential to the competition, such as a baffle box or dice tube, strong consideration should be given to that request. If the other player objects, the TD shall determine if there is legitimate reason to object or refuse to use the equipment offered and shall make the final decision.

In a subthread here, Bill R. and I have discussed this. Here is my interpretation/simplification of the above:

Dice tubes and baffle boxes are standard equipment.

Then, just like other equipment, players cast lots to determine what will be used if they don't initially concur. Director gets involved if one of them is of the opinion that there is a flaw in a piece of equipment up for usage.

I suspect an argument (presented to director) is going to be "such-and-such device doesn't deliver random rolls" or "device A is more reliable at delivering random rolls than device B" or even "when in the hands of this particular opponent, device A is more likely to lead to random rolls than device B". In the end, director must weigh the validity of such an objection.
