If players disagree about the legality of a move or the interpretation or
|
||
|
|
application of a rule, then the player preceding the one moving is to be the
|
||
|
|
Judge and decide the question. Disagreement for the purposes of this rule may
|
||
|
|
be created by the insistence of any player. This process is called *invoking
|
||
|
|
Judgment*.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When Judgment has been invoked, the next player may not begin his or her turn
|
||
|
|
without the consent of a majority of the other players.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Judge's Judgment may be overruled only by a unanimous vote of the other
|
||
|
|
players taken before the next turn is begun. If a Judge's Judgment is overruled,
|
||
|
|
then the player preceding the Judge in the playing order becomes the new Judge
|
||
|
|
for the question, and so on, except that no player is to be Judge during his or
|
||
|
|
her own turn or during the turn of a team-mate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unless a Judge is overruled, one Judge settles all questions arising from the
|
||
|
|
game until the next turn is begun, including questions as to his or her own
|
||
|
|
legitimacy and jurisdiction as Judge.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New Judges are not bound by the decisions of old Judges. New Judges may,
|
||
|
|
however, settle only those questions on which the players currently disagree
|
||
|
|
and that affect the completion of the turn in which Judgment was invoked. All
|
||
|
|
decisions by Judges shall be in accordance with all the rules then in effect;
|
||
|
|
but when the rules are silent, inconsistent, or unclear on the point at issue,
|
||
|
|
then the Judge shall consider game-custom and the spirit of the game before
|
||
|
|
applying other standards.
