The game protocol and forms
Status of the material. This is a study aid of the club, not an official rulebook. The rules and the references to clauses were checked against the web version of the rules that is available, but there is no full clause-by-clause comparison. Before a game the club announces which rulebook and which edition it plays by. If they differ, the official rulebook takes priority.
