>For those who argue that we can't cover everything, so why try? I say we must try, as the more we cover the fewer problems we have.

Dorn would know far more about this than I, but consider how real laws are formulated. There are written laws passed by our legislative and executive branches. But there is also case law.

Just as written laws help adjudicate conflict in both BG and IRL, perhaps there is a way for tournament "case law" to be used. Then tournament rules don't end up too long and too complicated. You can't expect the average player to read though a hundred pages of tournament rules that cover every conceivable circumstance.

The "case law" could be available so anyone could review it on their own if they choose, and a TD or ruling committee could spend a short time instead of a long time to resolve a situation that has been previously dealt with. If they, as well, so choose.
