Rules. What if??? (Posted 29/06/08)
There is a new section added to the website called "Rules. What if??" This section is for questions and different scenarios that may arise during matches where members are unsure of the rules, how they continued and what should have been the outcome. This will be a past situations section but it is purely for information should such a scenario arise in the future. Members can post their question/scenario on the "Rules. What if??" forum on the main forum, await the correct procedure and then both the question/scenario and correct outcome will be posted in the "Rules. What if??" section on the home page of the main website. Please be patient as not every question/scenario can be answered straight away. An example is for viewing in the "Rules. What if??" forum.
