In Response To: USBGF rule for dice-on-checkers - opinion of Ken Larsen (Bill Finneran)

The two pictures look very clear to me.... the four is cocked, the three is not.

And herein lines the problem. You think it is clear that the four is cocked, I think it is but am not certain, and USBGF Board member Michelle Steinberg, a.k.a. Julie Stein, thinks it is not.
