+=+ David quotes the committee verbatim and is therefore a source
of reliable information. The ecats site presents documents in a formal
arrangement with the WBF and is an official source of information.
There have been two meetings since November 2003. They were
a meeting of 31 October 2004 at which I was not present, and a meeting
of 7th October 2007. I am making enquiries to establish how it is that
these minutes are not posted. We do not control what appears on the
web site but they should appear before long. The 2004 meeting gave
guidance in answer to the questions
"What score should be given if a pair cannot play more than a few
boards in one or more sessions?"
and
"Can a penalty for a revoke be given by a score adjustment instead
of penalty tricks?".
There is nothing in the munutes of October 2007 that gives guidance
for Directors, no such question having arisen.
