Chris Harrison Posted June 25, 2012 at 02:26 AM Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 at 02:26 AM With a few exceptions the presiding officer's ruling can be Appealed (RONR pp. 255-260). If you want to expand on your question with more details we might be able to be more specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintCad Posted June 25, 2012 at 03:36 PM Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 at 03:36 PM Sounds like maybe a tradition that someone said, "That's not really a rule." to which the reply was, "We've always done it this way." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not sure that the chair actually offered a ruling on anything. With so little to go on, we can argue 'til the (barz)cattle come home and not be anywhere near the right pasture.Barzcattle, are you still with us?
