With all due respect to ASA, without some backup in the rule book (I'll even accept something in the POE), I ain't calling anyone out based on a Rule 10 case play.
Rule 10 starts out with Failure of umpires to adhere to Rule 10 shall not be grounds for protest. These are guidelines for umpires.
The intro to the 2002 Case Book states that the Case Book is to "assist umpires..." It is, in and of itself, not a rule book.
So, a Rule 10 Case Play is an assist on properly applying a guideline. Right.
I don't have my 2003 books yet. To those of you who do, does the 2003 Rule Book have any change in POE 48?
