In Response To: A little rules question...and socialiability in a local BG club (Bill Finneran)

It is easiest if you just follow the rules, and there are good reasons to also stick to them in informal games. Then you will not get unwritten "de facto" rules spilling over into serious play. So I am all for sticking to RHS rolling, no exceptions.

That is, as long as the rule says so. If people think it really is a problem, we should change the rule to Neil's stated preference, dice landing flat anywhere on the playing surface, including on top of checkers, count.
