trying to find the thread for all watch list eratta.

Is this list currently active?

Are the new rules in effect for tournament play?

The link Quebbster gave is all the information we currently have.

Do with it what you will.

No. This list is not officially active. These rules are not currently official or in use for tournament play. That being said, many venues have house ruled these changes to be rules for their tournaments. Check the house rules of a venue you plan to play at ahead of time so you are not caught off guard.

The next pg will contain the language for the watch list changes. That's when they become officially active.

Any idea when the next PG is coming? Even a rough estimate? This year, maybe?

Unfortunately I dont. The pg has left the stage where I'm involved so I'm not positive on its current status. I can say the language has been written so I can't imagine much longer. I'd say before the end of the year is likely.
