position of cube during Crawford game

In Response To: Ethics (Phil Simborg)

We get into a game that is post crawford and we both forgot to put the doubling cube back on the board after removing it the previous game.

I've had this dilemma myself. My solution is to NOT remove the cube during the Crawford game in the first place. How often do both players forget that it's the Crawford game? I don't think it's ever happened in match I've played. How often does a removed cube not get returned to the board after the Crawford game? I recall it's happened twice when I was leading the match (thus the dilemma) and a few more times when I was trailing in a match.

AFAIK the rules say "the doubling cube is out of play". IMO that doesn't mean "the doubling cube should be out of sight."
