The problem with the different rulings issued by Mary Struckhoff and Tom Lopes is that one of them made a decision based upon what the text of the rule actually says and the other didn't. |
And yet the other problem is that some local boards in Ontario "are an IAABO" chapter, and others aren't.
So when there are differing rules with teams from conflicting regions, it needs to be clarified if Fed or IAABO interps are being used. This isn't done, so then it becomes a provincial issue (as a whole).
I don't recall hearing news that "we play Fed with these IAABO exceptions".
