Premature roll ruling

In Response To: Premature roll ruling (Phil Simborg)

In my view:

If a player (or his partner) scoops up the dice before the outcome of the roll (of either die) is apparent, then there has been no premature roll, although a penalty might be appropriate for dice interference.

If a premature roll is cocked, that's the premature roll; the opponent who has not picked up his dice should not have an opportunity to require another roll.

I know these rules have the laudable purpose of discouraging premature rolling, but they should not be interpreted to allow predatory behavior on the part of the other player.
