Cautionary Notes:
If the “English language only” or “no coaching by spectators” provisions are still in the rules for this particular event, should any player or spectator be in violation you should be able to ensure the rule is enforced by notifying the dealer and if it is still ignored request floor personnel to take corrective action, according to all applicable rules.
Always review the rules thoroughly. If you have any questions or need clarification before or during competition, ask the floor or tournament director directly. This could help you avoid costly surprises for yourself and ensure that the dealer isn’t put in a position where their answer might not be supported by their superior.
