Players should agree the score at the end of each scoring turn. Personal counters should be used to keep count of bisques/extra turns.
Use your feet, rather than hands, to position balls where you can do so with sufficient precision.
Players should be their own Referees and acknowledge faults and errors if they occur.
Any amendments will be added and distributed to Members.
