Both Bob Jenkins and I gave him the rule and the real world answers. My comment was addressed to your remark that it was a non-issue. That simply isn't true when someone doesn't know how to handle it. Out of 100 games, this may happen once, so you must know what your responsibilities are and what needs to be done.

I'm done. Hope you had a good game.
