The Director alone has
the right to determine rectifications when applicable. Players do not have the
right to determine (or waive – see Law 81C5) rectifications on their own
initiative.
The Director may allow
or cancel any enforcement or waiver of a rectification made by the players
without his instructions.
1. When these Laws
provide an option after an irregularity, the Director shall explain all the
options available.
3. When these Laws provide the innocent side with an
option after an irregularity committed by an opponent, it is appropriate to
select the most advantageous action.
4. Subject to Law 16D2, after rectification of an
infraction it is appropriate for the offenders to make any call or play
advantageous to their side, even though they thereby appear to profit through
their own infraction (but see Laws 27 and 50).
The right to
rectification of an irregularity may be forfeited if either member of the
non-offending side takes any action before summoning the Director. The Director
does so rule, for example, when the non-offending side may have gained through
subsequent action taken by an opponent in ignorance of the relevant provisions
of the law.
Even after the right to rectification has been forfeited
under this Law, the Director may assess a procedural penalty (see Law 90).
