Resuming Play Question...

[rainmaker]

John -- here's a small advertisement, which you can skip if you want -- There are a couple of very entertaining, educational** and evocative articles on the subscription web-zine part of this site regarding the Resuming Play Procedure. There will also be another one soon about the RPP, and the various delay warnings and immediate T's and when to use which. (Note to Tomegun: I'm not buttering up anyone, I'm bragging about myself!)

If you haven't seen them, or don't want a subscription, here's the summary -- use the RPP after a time-out. In the RPP there are no warnings. You simply proceed with the game as possible until a violation, then if the delay continues, issue a technical. So if A is ready to go, GO! B will learn their lesson and as MOfficial says, it will only happen once.

**The truth in advertising laws compel me to admit that one of the RPP articles contains a huge mistake, but there is a correction which was printed about 10 days later.
