[blml] When too late

[WILLIAM SCHODER]

I remember it as a simple question of when a player can no longer call a
director FOR a ruling. The reason for asking for a ruling makes no
difference. It may make a difference in the ruling, but that doesn't prevent
the player from asking within the period specified. The "long time
afterwards" only has meaning if it is beyond the limits stated in 92 B or
other limits imposed by the sponsoring Organization.

I think the discussion on Law 16, 12, etc., is interesting and the positions
taken, whether right or wrong, at least revealing of the poster's erudition,
but I still can't help but regret that in so many "threads" the original
question is quickly segued away from and long and involved arguments ensue 
without an answer to the original question.

Unless I remember completely wrong this thread was about discovering the
possible use of UI in a situation where NOS was unaware that UI had been
given until "long time afterwards". Thus it is indeed a question of Law 16.
