I would be interested to know people's opinion about a few similar cases:
A) Player A has a checker on the bar and rolls 66. Player B has a five point board with only the 6 point open. Player A mistakenly thinks that he cannot play and hits the clock. Player B does not notice the mistake (or pretends not to notice) and carries on playing. A spectator informs the TD, who arrives at the board two moves later.
B) Player A still has 10 seconds on his clock. After making a fairly obvious play, he sits back and acts as if he finished his turn, but forgets to hit his clock. Player B does absolutely nothing. 10 seconds later, Player A's time has run out and Player B claims victory. Player A calls for the TD.
C) Player A forgets to hit his clock several times while Player B is on the bar against a closed board, and Player A loses on time. When questioned by the TD, Player B says he was not aware that it was a legal moves tournament. The printed (american) rules were not to be seen in the tournament room.
D) Player A forgets to hit his clock several times while Player B is on the bar against a closed board, and Player A loses on time. Player A accepts the loss and congratulates his opponent. A spectator reports the facts to the TD, but when the TD arrives, Player B has already started his next round against an opponent who had already been waiting for him.
