Too many times I have had to disqualify a player for a mistake which had no outcome on the contest. It bothers me to be so rigid on the rules when anyone can see the players intent. Cruzan got DQed this year along with a few others.and in the Breeders Cup there is a big DQ. Being over the limit is one thing. Making a wager that can't be deciphered with the naked eye is another. Betting races that aren't in the sequence is a dq. Forgetting a number should not be a DQ when you add the proper name. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

RQ, you make a very valid point. It is my guess that the ROI rules were originally written to protect the scorer from having to make any guess as to the player's intent. That may be too rigid, especially in a game among friends with only bragging rights on the line. I would be in favor of giving you as scorer the discretion of accepting a wager as valid as long as you can clearly interpret the intent, even if it is not artfully written. I would draw the analogy of you as mutual clerk - could you punch out a ticket based on the information presented to you? If so, you should be able to accept it.
That's my opinion - I'd be interested in how others react.
