> some go further still, completely eliminating rulings aroung trackage limits, though at this point they remain quite fringe.

The elimination of trackage limits when influenced by bi-directional Perridale has been pretty mainstream now for a couple of years. I’d hardly call them “fringe” anymore.

Agree on the need for sufficient awareness of forfeiture rules in general though.

Personally I’m warming towards the proposed Eton’s Lisp amendment which does seem to improve some of the issues with deadlocked rounds, especially with larger numbers of players.
