| I think mistakes should be punished, but the examples Ian stated shouldn´t be punished as they were. Case 1: If you notice some players missing tiles, just tell them and they have a dead hand! I think this way it doesnt effect the game and the player is punished as she/he cant win any points in this hand. But with a chombo everybody gets points they dont deserve and maybe these points will make the difference in 1st or 2nd place overall. So it benefits players that sat at a table with an inexperienced player. Case 2: If the next hand hadnt started, it should be okay to switch the score. Cuz in this example the yaku were correct, it was only forgotten to score more points for the dealer. This should be no problem, especially when the writer was inexpirenced with writing down the score. (this wouldnt happen if we would play with scoring sticks, cuz everybody should be familiar with these) Case 3: The player claimed a tile. If i think about the pronunciation of the majority of players you werent even able to hear the difference in pon and ron. If she/he noticed before displaying the pon, its no problem. Cuz most of the time you had to wait for the players action to see what was claimed, cuz you couldnt understand! We need penalties for mistakes, of course! But we also need to play the game and have fun, cuz this is the most important part of it. Having fun with poeple who love the game as much as we do!!! Like Ian said, there is no money involved, so we should have a fair and nice competition. In all the other tournaments there is no need for a referee, cuz its always a good cooperation of the players. So why is there a need to change this in the ERC? Its the European Championships, okay, but its just an other tournament. So lets continue having fun and dont get too serious. Its just a game, but the best game i ever played!!!!!!!! |
