Rule 81 - Board Errors
- 81.1
In Flop games, if at any time, a board error occurs, the dealer MUST immediately STOP all action and report the error to a Floor Person or the Tournament Director.
- 81.2
Anytime a board error occurs or is noticed after any action has started, it is the right and responsibility of the Tournament Director to interpret how a rule will apply and how the hand will continue. On occasion, unusual circumstances may arise that may dictate decisions in the interest of fairness and will take priority over the technical rules.
- 81.3
Any time action has begun with an error on the board, a 'misdeal' cannot be declared. The only time a misdeal will be declared on a board with action is when there is a 'fouled deck.'
- 81.4
The Tournament Director should apply the following procedure for the prescribed board errors:
