No penalty worse than losing, in the judgment of the player to incur it, may be imposed. There must always be at least one mutable rule. The adoption of rule-changes must never become completely impermissible. Even rule-changes that amend or repeal their own authority are permissible. Whatever is not prohibited or regulated by a rule is permitted and unregulated, with the sole exception of changing the rules, which is permitted only when a rule or set of rules explicitly or implicitly permits it.
All Players begin with zero points.
If two or more active players have the same surname the following order would be followed. Order would be in alphabetic order by surname until a matching surname is reached. Then, the order would alternate in alphabetic order by first name. Once that particular matching surname is complete, the order would resume in alphabetic order by surname. A Player may refuse to take the role of Chairperson.
