E-ban takes effect at Summer NABC
Players are
reminded that a new ban on electronic devices goes into effect for all
nationally rated events at the 2008 Summer NABC. The new policy reads as
follows:
Electronic devices, excluding health-related equipment, capable of sending or
receiving communication, including but not limited to, headphones, earphones,
cellular phones and mini-computers: (1) shall not be allowed in the playing
areas, adjacent hallways, restrooms or accessible break areas; and (2) shall not
be used during a session.
These restrictions shall apply to all pairs, team members, captains, coaches,
recorders and kibitzers and shall apply throughout any actual playing session or
segment.
A violation of this policy shall result in a disciplinary penalty of one full
board (or 12 IMPs at that form of scoring) for the first offense. A second
offense shall result in disqualification from the event for the pair/team.
Kibitzers violating this policy shall be removed from the playing area for the
remainder of the session.
These devices are not permitted near the playing area,
even if they are turned off.
