| I don't play RCR ( but very interested ) just I know some rules of it. I think at the first case the guy was simply malicious and the referee simply can't say 'oh you are the bad guy and..', the second case well... it was a EC and if you are forget to count something where should be the limit until you can say 'oh I would like to add...' I think that is when you write down the scores. And counting is part of the game The third case for me it's like the second. So in a tournament I think these are mistakes which shouldn' t have to be 'punished' but should have some 'consequences'. The result is the same but the feeling is different. So if you are making a mistake accept the penalty on the other hand don't hunt for other's mistakes. I think everyone who sits down at a table at a _torunament_ should find some balance between keeping the rules and fair play. But we are different and not everyone find this balance. But think about that if you are 'fair' to some unexperienced player (e.g. helping him/her in counting) at your table and later on he/she will win that table and by some luck finishing in a very good position at the end you were 'unfair' to players at the other tables because maybe they don't get this kind of 'help'. I think no one should ruin the game by pointing out minor mistakes and try to get punishment to the others all the time but really it happened to me 2 or 3 times that we let someone continue in the case of dead hand and at the end he/she won that table. And that's not a good feeling. I'm just playing MCR but I think the rules are tending to be 'draconian' but as Mark pointed out ( I agree with him ) it's part of the game as it becoming a sport. I don't agree with all the new penalties in MCR but this is a relatively new sport so I think many things will change in it in the future. Also I never saw this 'catch as catch can' attitude at MCR tournaments I met players played like that but rules (or less rules) can't help on it |
