POKER TOURNAMENT RULES QUESTIONS & DISCUSSIONS > Suggestions for new TDA rules and amendments to existing rules READ-ONLY ARCHIVES Pre-2015 Summit
2015 Summit Suggestions: FCOTD, AA, Verbals, Action OOT, Undercalls, etc.
Nick C:
Mike,
Any chance we can get a heads up on possible changes to some of the current TDA Rules? The great majority of members are unable to attend, but I believe it would be a good idea to at least listen to what they have to say.
In 2013 TDA # 29 was the big talked about addition (At Your Seat)...what's the verdict on that one? Last I heard, it was not going to be used at the WSOP.
In 2011 Current TDA # 46 Accepted Action was introduced ::) That, too proved to be a most controversial addition.
Any chance of changing these, or eliminating them? What better way to get feedback than the TDA Forum?
My vote for needed changes: TDA # 29 At Your Seat, #46 Accepted Action, and #37 Verbal Bet Declarations / Acting In Turn / Under-calls Both A & B.
I really feel these need some work before we entertain any idea about introducing another unpopular "new rule."
Brian Vickers:
I was squarely against the "at your seat" change at the summit, but once I implemented it I found it to be a major improvement in keeping players from walking around between hands or dealers slowing down the last card to the button so a player could get in their chair in time. I hope it stays and I hope more TDs adopt it in their rooms.
Nick C:
Brian,
That's fine, use it as one of your "house rules" but do you know if the WPT or the WSOP has adopted it? Last I heard, they were not.

Nick:
I am confused (so what's new 'bout that?)
In the past you were ranting (may be commenting is a better word) about the major venues that don't adopt TDA Rules. Now you appear to be taking the opposite tack and saying that unless the major venues adopt a particular rule, the TDA should get rid of that rule.
Which side are you on?
and by the way, I agree with Brian with the "at your seat" rule and for the reasons he stated.

Nick C:
Chet, happy new year!
What I'm trying to do is get the TDA rules to become the standard rules that card rooms (worldwide) will adopt. There are serious issues that need to be addressed before we introduce another "new" controversial rule in 2015.
In the past, any player that was not in their seat (or within earshot) when the final card was dealt on the initial deal, had a dead hand. Common sense, if you ask me. I don't know of anyone that got trampled in the last 50 years, or so...that would warrant a "new rule" to prevent players from running through the casino to look at their hand! ::)
I don't like the rule, and you do. That's okay. I just don't see it as a "RULE." I think the casino has their own set of rules that govern the actions of all patrons.
If you'd like to continue our conversation, we can bore each other further by sending a private message. ;D
