"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)
