Dave,
No conflict at all. What I was advocating was to enforce the rules as they're written. That part's a "no-brainer".
However, some circumstances (such as impending darkness, time limit, age of the participants and safety concerns; to name just a few)dictate the UIC needs to act prudently and diplomatically but without jeopardizing the integrity of the game.
A matter of priorities actually. I prefer to manage games on the side of safety and expediency, while others would prefer following the "letter of the law" . . . even if it means not being able to complete a game.
