| so do I (agree with Edwin)! and I want to stress the fact, that tournament rules should be exact and complete - and this means, they include penalties for "standard situations" as far as possible to allow (!) for a standard way to handle them, IF there is need to do so. The rules should serve the players and allow them to play in a fair way by making a definition of what's _perfectly_ right - minor infringements should go unpunished or with just a warning, when they do not occur willingly (as they usually do). But you need a means to sanction players who play foul on purpose - and that way should be well-defined. (Except in severe cases of cheating or obstruction of the game) Only if the players disagree on a situation, referees should show up or be called and clear the dispute - but then they should obviuosly handle as many situations as possible in the very same way. The comprehensive "penalty catalogue" of MCR (and also the penalty rules in RCR) helps them do this - without it, everything would be up to an ad-hoc decision and I doubt that would be more fun. |
