While the players might be ok with spectators speaking up before the play in question has ended, I think that should not be permitted by the rules, but could be allowed by the players. The preservation of the evidence of the dice roll seems secondary to the potential for a spectator's comment to interfere with the play being made. "

Regarding spectators, this seems reasonable. In my other post I wasn't advocating that the spectators have a right to speak up about the current play in progress. But allowing a spectator to draw attention to a misplay if it is not observed (after the move) by the players is something I would consider if you move to "legal play". If a TD finds a spectator abusing this (Hypothetically lets say they constantly keep calling "no roll" when the plays are legal) then the TD can warn/sanction them.

I probably would be more lenient about enforcement of "Legal play" in the Novice division though.
