Garth, Garth, Garth,
I'm not whining about anything. I brought up the subject because there are so many differing interpretations being used, and not everyone has access to the manuals. That's all.
I am perfectly willing to call the games the same way I always have. I don't have any problem with that. I originally asked a legitimate question: When will the manuals be incorporated in the rule books? I got my answer about 9 pages ago. It was answered by Ozzy. Ever since, the thread had gone on a variety of tangents. I recently attempted to steer it back into a discussion.
You have made a good suggestion. We should all talk to the powers that be, within our associations, to find a standard interpretation reference, and have everyone use it. I too, think all the reference manuals are just grand.
I gave an example from the PBUC, just to illustrate how two authorative opinions differed on the same play.
Garth, please feel free to start a thread of your own. Let's talk about something more interesting. This one has gone on much longer than I ever imagined it would. I would gladly drop the subject at any point. I don't want to be
another one-note Johnny.
