Perhaps you would care to elaborate on why the situations being discussed in this thread might properly be considered situations to which 9.01(c) could apply and what the proper application might be. Instead of pretending to say something pithy in regard to the discussion.

Let's see, Clips2 suggested a 9.01(c) ruling. He was wrong. (I'm guessing he doesn't even realize what he suggested ruling.)

Bob P. suggested alternative rulings. While I found some of his suggested rulings a bit draconian, he obviously has a formidably deeper understanding of the principles underlying the game than clips. And, I would guess, a much better understanding of the proper application of 9.01(c) than you.

Perhaps I'm wrong. Do tell.

Damn. You really have crossed over. You, sir have become an umpire. I'm so proud....I could cry.

Congratulations. Now, you just need a new moniker to keep others from being confused as to how to take your posts.

(I told you what would happen if you went to the Evans Classic.)
