If I'm the R for any game, however, the uniform rules get enforced as written.

It's interesting that in an avocation that is prone to so much judgment and interpretation for just about everything there can be such an issue with something that is so clearly defined.

I know I feel better if they are enforced by the R. Because I know that if those details are tended to, that if an unusual situation arises, proper enforcement and/or administration of the rules is likely.
