+ | ==== Adopted/Changed ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | # Rule IV.F.2.b. (On All Plays Thereafter): The phrase “50 spread points” was replaced by the phrase “50 tournament spread points” for slightly improved clarity. | ||
+ | # Rule IV.B.5. (Drawing Out of Order): The wording was changed to clarify that total tile mixing time for an entire draw is 10 seconds and to clarify that one may draw tiles individually rather than all at once. The word “directly” was also dropped to avoid any misconception that a drawn tile may not be transferred to the other hand before being placed on one’s rack. | ||
+ | # Rule V.C.2. (Final Play): The exception at the beginning of the game to the “six-scores-of-zero-and-the-game-is-over” rule was removed. The game can now end with no tiles on the board. | ||
+ | # Rules I. (Conduct), I.A. (Cheating), and I.C. (Abusive or Disruptive Behavior): References are made to the NASPA Code of Conduct, effective 7/1/09, which governs conduct at NASPA tournaments. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Not adopted ==== | ||
+ | # We decided that when playing blind people we will not require the tiles to be face down on a flat surface (as opposed to drawing from a bag). | ||
+ | # We agreed that directors should not be involved in recounts (beyond settling a single score). No change will be made to V.H. in this regard. | ||
+ | # We determined we will not disallow prize money to a player who deliberately forfeits the last game (as we were instructed by NASPA). | ||
+ | # We decided not to bar an unexcused forfeiter from the rest of the tournament. | ||
+ | # We decided we will not change the 50 point spread given to the opponent of a forfeiter. | ||
