Bubble Time: The New Rules
There has been a new rule created, whereby players have to stay in their seats during the bubble. They can leave to go to the toilet or get a drink, but they are not allowed to move around other tables. This is a good rule and one that makes sense, but there are a few teething problems. Firstly, responsibility has to rest with the players. You are not children but grown adults and when you are told to stay in your seat or you will receive a penalty then stay put or accept the conequences. Don't complain when you get a penalty if you have broken the rules! Secondly, the people organising the tournament have to be vigilant and disciplined. While one player was receiving a penalty another player was stood yards away from him and got off scot-free. This seemingly lack of discipline with the officiating will just lead to more people either breaking the rules or complaining about them.
So players park your arse and officials peel open your eyes!
