If a player mixes the dice in the middle of the game or throws one or two of the dice away he will be penalised one point and may be subject to further disciplinary action. Players will arrive promptly for matches. These points will be added to his opponent's total. It is the responsibility of each player to be on time. He must check to see that no deviations from the Tournament programmed have been introduced.
Ignorance is no defence against penalty points incurred through late arrival.
All matches must take place in the playing room unless specific variance is permitted by the Committee. Direction of play and choice of colour of men and seats shall be decided by roll of dice before play starts. Once decided direction and colour shall remain constant for the entire match. If a Tournament Committee provides match cards these must be used. At the end of the match they must be signed by both players.
