Procedure of how to use RR

[dreamscreator]

After read the problem of one of the games in the Europen about if one of the players used or not a RR, I was wondering if could be a good idea if the tournaments should have an official procedure of how to use RR.

At least there are three ways of how the people use RR:
-They have the tokens in the RR row, and take one of them out when they use it.
-They have only one token in the RR row, and they move backwards when they use it.
-They have the tokens out of the RR row, and they put the RR when they use it (usually under the turn they use the RR).

Personally I don't like the first and second way because can cause confusion if you have use it or not. In a very confuse turn maybe you can forget if you have use a RR if you are moving backwards the counter for example.

What do you think? So paranoid?

I've seen all three, yes. I use, and recommend, the third.
Should be easy to write into a rules pack. But is it enforceable?

I prefer the 3rd method as there's no sensible way you can make a mistake on whether you've used your reroll that turn or not.

I don't see why it couldn't be in the rules pack - it was specified how dice falling out of dice cups should be handled...

In a small tournaments I don't think is going to be a problem (usually you know everyone in there). But in a big tournaments like World Cup, Eurobowl or some of the majors maybe could be a thing.

I know this game is quite a friendly game, and cheaters are unusual but, if in this year was a specification of when to roll again your cocked dice, maybe can be good idea include this too.

Almost always used the first method.
Third method is great when teaching/trying to improve your game to track when and why you used your RR, but don't see the use for it in a tournament setting.

I enthusiastically started using Method 3 as soon as I saw somebody else using it a while back. It's obviously the most unambiguous method.

I now use the third method, but disagree with it being enforced on people.
But from my experience the number of times it's a problem means it doesn't need a ruling, unlike cocked/escaping dice.
