your reasoning involves the "human" part of the game, which is definitely not in the rules.

most coaches allows you to redo entire movements, as long as you didn't roll dice (this generally ends up with the fatidic question: "which square was this player in?"...), but from a "logic" point of view you sholud not be allowed to do this, because (as you say) the "undeclaring" is not in the rules, either.

I can! This is mitigated by the fact that the rules allow a player to not do anything during an action. You can declare a block action and not block anyone. I played in a league where you were not allowed to undeclare anything, so if you for example had counted assists wrong, then all you could do was not make the block action, but the player had still used his action for that turn. We did allow asking about block dice or plotting moves, but a declaration was a thing you could not take back. Of course playing it this way only makes sense when using the 4 minute rule as otherwise it just makes the game needlessly rigid.

Anyway, I don't think it was ugly. It just made things more tense in terms of having to take more time in deciding what to do with a given player while at the same time your precious 4 minutes are running down.

[sarcasm] you must play in a fun league[/sarcasm]

i have'nt seen the 4 minute turn rule enforced in any league i've visited or tourney i've attended for years

also the norm that has developed certainly in uk tourneys over the years is "if you've not rolled any dice you may rethink that action"

your supposed to be playing another human being not a rules lawyer :P

The Commissioner's word is final. Any house rules he wishes to play is up to him.

Most coaches allow you to change your movement around a bit during that player's actions

Most Tourneys allow "bumper" time and do not use the 4 minute unless a player drags his feet and slows down the event

We play that once you declare a special action and move even one square that action is chosen. You may or may not decide to use that action with that player, but no other player may use the special actions that turn (pass, blitz ...). If you did not move and changed your mind, "no this guy is gonna blitz instead of pass" and then move you may blitz we are cool with that
