+=+ Under its agreed procedures the WBFLC only acts 
corporately in a meeting. It acknowledges the issue of 
interim interpretations by Zonal Authorities with effect in 
their respective zones.  Each NBO, and each Director in 
charge of  a tournament, has power to fill any vacuum left 
by default of interpretation.  
          In my opinion, past statements of principle by the 
WBFLC continue to apply unless incompatible with law;
the words 'play continues' are unconditional and place 
no restraint upon any player in the play; the Director's 
presence is explicitly stated to be concerned with the 
potential for use of UI.
