[blml] Appeal to National Authority

[Anne Jones]

WBU met with an occurence a while ago and decided on a protocol. WBU L&EC is
the NA in Wales.
At a particuler event in Wales, the WBU L&EC is always present. It was felt
that rulings and appeals at this event, if deferred to a ruling of the L&EC
would likely be considered on site. This presents a situation which is not
available to players at other events.
It was decided that any  appeal to the Nat Authority, if heard, would not
affect the published results on the day.
WBU L&EC does not hear appeals of value judgements, but those on points of
principle are entertained.
