Re: Constable and negative points

Thank you for the clarification, Lumin. I have now found an image of the actual revised edition constable and, indeed, the phrase "in any scoring line" does not appear. I'm perplexed as to why BGA chose to add this as the original text seems quite clear to me, whereas the added phrase sugg...
