clock "ETHICS"

In Response To: clock "ETHICS" (Rich Munitz)

"If player A is on auto-pilot and hits his clock without rolling when he has legal moves. He recognizes the mistake, centers the clock and appeals to the director:

a) Before player B has rolled. Does A reroll or not?

b) After player B has rolled. Does A reroll or not? If yes, does B's roll stand (premature action) or not?

c) After player B has rolled, played, and hit his clock. (This can potentially happen very quickly). Player A points out the oversight before rolling."

OK, with my TD-hat on AND the Clock-Ethics in place at my tournaments:

a. of course A gets to roll and play his roll

b. again, A gets to roll and play his roll; B must then re-roll (I ignore his "premature action" since they both missed catching the ethical expectation for A to actually roll"

c. too LATE! once B has rolled and played, I would not "roll back the actions" --both missed that A should actually have rolled-condition and now it is down the river.

At least that's what I think is fair and ethical, ______________patrick (the MFIC)
