1: Floor Decisions

(1/1)

BillM16:


--- Quote from: TDA 2015 Rules ---1:  Floor Decisions
The best interest of the game and fairness are top priorities in decision-making. Unusual circumstances occasionally dictate that decisions in the interest of fairness take priority over technical rules. Floor decisions are final.

--- Quote from: BillM16 suggestion for 2017 ---1:  Floor Decisions
All floor decisions are final.  Fairness and the best interests of the game are top priorities in making floor decisions.  A floor decision may override TDA rules when warranted.

--- End quote ---

While this may seem trivial, it has advantages:

* The finality of decisions fact is stated first.
* Corrects the singular best interest - the game has multiple best interests
* Rules are overridden when warranted instead of being dictated by an occasional unusual circumstance.
* It is more concise
