From the Director: 
Rulings from the Director
When a director makes a ruling, it can be one of two types of ruling. Some are straight out of the book and have a fixed and unchangeable penalty, like when there is a revoke. You must accept the ruling in these cases unless the ruling is seen as manifestly unfair. The other type of ruling, where the director is using his/her judgement is able to be appealed against. You should be advised that you have a right to appeal and have the decision looked at later in the session by other players.
