How the Floor Judges
MAKE THE NUMBER — produce the piece, waste nothing, hold the grain,
inside your declared ops and coal, riders honored: +10, plus
+2 for every op under the anchor — the tighter the say, the
richer the ring.
FAIL IT — the failure is chalked beside your name, and the smith
who passed gets a countermake at their last comfortable bid: made,
it is a STEAL (+14).
THE DRY RUN — three rehearsals free, then −1 each. The fire
forgets; the floor never saw it.
THE SAY IS A DEBT. Beat the number, not the smith.
