Does anyone have a less than 10 page "How to rule on the most common club game mechanical errors" guide?
LOOT, BOOT, Insufficient, Revoke, what else?
I don't want to go near UI, MI, Failure to alert, BITs, fouled boards etc.
Thanks

Illegal double? Only an issue with bidding boxes.

I'll take that too but it appears that noone has a cheat sheet

The EBU has flow charts on the most commonly infringed laws on its website: https://www.ebu.co.u...cs-publications
The SBU has a club director's handbook on https://www.sbu.org....ament-directors - It is more than 10 pages but might have much of what you are looking for.

Of course the EBU , SBU make this available.
The flow chart is excellent and I’d like to take page 10 onwards from the SBU director’s handbook.
Can I do so if I acknowledge the source and don’t say the ‘SBU says’ without getting SBU sign off on exact text?

The FIGB has flowcharts for aspiring directors.
I'm not convinced they are really much use, except as a sanity check / confidence booster for insecure beginners. I've seen Directors still clinging to them year after year with no evident will to actually understand and remember the Laws.

After reading the FLB, who doesn't need a confidence booster ?
I'm not to say if others want to use the flow charts, abbreviated law book year after year and honestly, I'd rather a Director carry reference material with them than quote erroneously from memory.

I'm sure the SBU would be okay with it.
If you contact Angus, the author, then he may let you have an editable version of the document. He is now the Competitions Controller and you can contact him using the form at https://www.sbu.org....=137&Itemid=205
