In Response To: What penalty do you impose? (Bill)

Acting as the Devil's advocate; the rules (WBA edition, and at least DBGF and NBGF uses same wording) state: a player is not permitted to use electronic, mechanical, written or other aids other than those necessary to keep score.

Now, a score card and a pen are necessary to keep score, and the offender has not used other aid than a score card and a pen. True, he has used it for more than just keeping score, but that is not explicitly prohibited by the rules.
