Another chouette question

We have a non-trivial set of rules about this, and I think the complexity of this makes it not ideal, but here is what we've used in Atlanta for what it is worth:

Legal Plays
8.1) Any player including spectators and players not in the current game can bring attention to any illegal play involving rolling, checkers or the doubling cube. Once an illegal play has been identified, it must be corrected if possible, regardless of timeliness. The goal is the realization of the normal game position in absence of the illegal play.

8.2) If possible, the illegal play should be identified and corrected as it is being made or after the dice are lifted and before the opponent rolls. If the illegal play is identified after the opponent has rolled then either rule 8.3 or 8.4 is applied as appropriate:

8.3) If the equity achieved by the choice of legal plays is substantially the same regardless of the opponent's roll or there is only one legal play available, the illegal play is corrected and the opponent's roll stands.

8.4) If the equity achieved by the choice of legal plays would substantially change with prior knowledge of the opponent's roll, the illegal play is corrected and the opponent has the option to re-roll or use the number already rolled.

8.5) Illegal plays may also be corrected after the initial illegal player starts to move after the next roll, but only if it can be adjusted without affecting the previous plays or rolls.
