Often Broken Rules
- Valid Rolls aka 'the dice must be vigorously shaken at least twice up and down and rolled in one action on the right-hand side of the bar with enough force and height to tumble freely'
- Checker and Dice Handling aka 'A player must move checkers clearly to a specific location, using one and the same hand throughout their turn (including hitting the clock), keep borne off checkers away from the playing surface, should announce the roll before repositioning dice... If a play is not final, a moved checker should be offset above its intended destination. The original position should be restored before making another play.'
- End of Turn;Premature Actions aka 'If the opponent lifts a die before their time is activated (fast grab), the player may pause the clock to complete their move and/or require forfeit of the opponent’s delay.' (fast grabs in bear off situations)
I'd say these rules are mainly broken because of sloppiness/laziness.
