Re: DIS: Draft Referee's Report

2017-04-20 Thread Owen Jacobson
Interesting. Rule 869 says that “A registered person is a player” and secures 
registration (with power=3). Rule 1551 (Ratification) has power 3.1, so it’s 
actually possible that ratification could register someone. I don’t think 
that’s desireable; if nothing else, someone made a player by ratification 
hasn’t agreed to follow the rules, and there are some troubling questions of 
consent.

Any idea how to represent your indeterminate state in the reports?

I was waiting to see if there was more discussion, but there's been
plenty of good feedback so I'll aim for a 2nd draft by tomorrow (want
to get a jump on assigning the sudden CFJ activity, too!)

I disagree. It hasn't seen its second drafting yet, and I think we should
discuss it somewhat more. However, I do believe it is traditionally the
