Rule Submission TitleOverriding your own line call
Existing Rule #6.D.12
Proposed Rule Change

6.D.12. After the completion of a rally, players may overrule a partner’s line call, their own line call, an officiating team’s line call, or an opponent’s “in” call to their own disadvantage.

Original Rule Text

6.D.12. After the completion of a rally, players may overrule a partner’s line call, an officiating team’s line call, or an opponent’s “in” call to their own disadvantage.

Reasoning Behind Suggested Change

When we wrote Rule 6.D.12, this was an oversight.  It should always have read this way.  If I can overrule my partner's line call, I should also, in the spirit of sportsmanship, be able to overrule my own line call to my disadvantage.
