In Response To: Another Rule 1.5 interpretation problem (Chuck Bower)

There are no rules governing how the score is to be kept. We look at problems all the time and say "the score is 3-away 4-away'. It is well understood and the two players should have no problem agreeing on the score. So it might seem that this question is ambiguous according to the rules.

The one rule that may imply that such practice IS NOT OK is the following:

4.9 COMPLETION. ... Players are responsible for playing to the posted match length. The first player to reach the posted match length is the winner.

This implies to me that if the posted match length is 11 points, that the players must play and maintain a running score to ultimately reach a final value of 11, not zero.
