In Response To: Director ruling (storm)

I don't know the US rules, but as described I think the ruling _must_ be that player A's roll has to stand. Otherwise player A's opponent, by having the choice of "accepting" A's roll or call for a ruling after having seen the roll, has obtained the possibility of gaining an advantage. I think it would make sense to have rules stating that the starting position isn't set up until the checkers (and the doubling cube?) are in place and each player has a die.

I am in complete agreement with you on this.
