| | Slaughter rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | However, it should be noted that slaughter rules usually do not take effect until a prescribed point in the game (e.g., the second half of a football game). | | | Slaughter rules are most common in games such as baseball or softball, where there is no game clock and play could theoretically continue forever, although it is also used in sports such as Hockey, football, and soccer. | | | The rules vary widely, depending on the level of competition, but nearly all youth leagues and high school sports associations, and many college sports associations have slaughter rules for sports including baseball, softball, football (although not college) and soccer. |

| | Stopping rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Playing until she either runs out of money or has played 500 games is a stopping rule. | | | Playing until she either doubles her money or runs out of money is a stopping rule, even though there is potentially no limit to the number of games she plays, since the probability that she stops in a finite time is 1. | | | The theory of stopping rules and stopping times can be analysed in probability and statistics, notably in the optional stopping theorem. |

| | The Pie Rule |
| | The usual implementation of the Pie Rule for pencil-and-paper games is that the first player colors in a region, and the second player has the option of stealing that move, and thus becoming the first player. | | | This is the rule we'll use for Hex and Y in tournaments. | | | The Pie Rule also evens out a game like Hex or Y, for which the first move can otherwise be a deciding advantage between evenly-matched players. |

| | Pie rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The game of Orbit uses a "refined" pie rule, which technically has the "real" pie rule as a subset; like Hex being a subset of Y, however, the "refined" pie rule complicates matters considerably. | | | The pie rule, sometimes referred to as the swap rule, is a meta-rule commonly used in abstract strategy board games like Hex and Havannah. | | | Effectively, the second player becomes the first player, and it is as if that move was his, and the game is now proceeding. |

| | This rule provides a way to make the game fairer without the use of komi. | | | Although rarely used in Go, the analogous rule (in a different, but equivalent, form) is normal practice for Hex, and the rule can also be used with many other board games. | | | The name refers to the idea of one person cutting a pie in half, and the other person choosing which half to have. |

| | Cluster-analysis stopping rules are used to determine the number of clusters. | | | With rule(calinski) the matrix has two columns, the first giving the number of clusters, and the second giving the corresponding Calinski and Harabasz pseudo-F stopping-rule index. | | | A stopping-rule value (also called an index) is computed for each cluster solution (e.g., at each level of the hierarchy in a hierarchical cluster analysis). |

| | As a result it is customary for equal players to use the pie rule, so called because it is derived from the puzzle of how two people can share a piece of pie fairly. | | | The pie rule eliminates the large advantage the first player has, and it makes the game more interesting (the player who decides whether to be the first or second player has a slight advantage). | | | The pie rule applied to Y says that one player decides what the first player's first move will be. |

| | Sensei's Library: Pie Rule/ Discussion |
| | Maybe better than a plain pie rule would be to play zero to a few moves into the game, then auction off black. | | | To avoid this, one could introduce a modificated pie rule, saying: If the cut is conducted by both players, then colors have to be chosen by none of them, but random. | | | Personally, I have never thought that the pie rule produces particularly elegant positions, since it throws in intentionally nonoptimal play into what is supposed to be a mutual honest struggle between the two color. |

| | In all cases a significant correction is required to go from the simple Bragg's rule of additivity to the corrected curves. | | | This rule is reasonably accurate, and the measured stopping of ions in compounds usually deviates less than 20% from that predicted by Bragg's rule. | | | Experimental studies of Bragg's rule started in the 1960s, and wide discrepancies were found from simple additivity of stopping powers. |

| | A popular poker game in Spain is played with cards 8-A. It is played similar to hold'em, except that one card is dealt at a time and you must use both of your hole cards. | | | While poker was originally played with each player receiving five cards and only one betting round, it has expanded to include hundreds of variants. | | | Poker was first played with only 20 cards. |

| | Commenters were very complimentary about the reorganization of the rule, generally praising it as much clearer and easier to follow than the existing rule. | | | This is not quite the ``slice of pie'' proposal advanced by some service agents, since the Department would not necessarily be limited by rule to applying a PIE only to the type of activity or organizational element directly involved in the noncompliance. | | | The effect of this action is to make PIE proceedings available to the Department with respect to noncompliance with the existing Part 40 rule between the publication date of this revision and the August 1 effective date of the complete revised Part 40. |

| | Thus, a first observation is that the upper bound for a stopping rule of order k cannot be stricter than the upper bound for a stopping rule of order k-1. | | | In other words, even if data are not consistent with the upper bound of the (k-1)th-terminating stopping rule, they may still be consistent with the kth-terminating rule. | | | While parallel models with a first-terminating or an exhaustive stopping rule are plausible mechanisms in many situations, note that these rules only constitute two extreme cases of a more general situation where overall reaction time is determined by k channels having finished (). |

| | It is easily shown, however, that a stopping rule based on one of those criteria induces a stopping rule on all other criteria. | | | Thus the basis used to initially define a stopping rule is relatively unimportant so long as the operating characteristics of the stopping rule are fully investigated. | | | Group sequential stopping rules are often used as guidelines in the monitoring of clinical trials in order to address the ethical and efficiency issues inherent in human testing of a new treatment or preventive agent for disease. |

| | The practical application of the rule comes in games involving inexperienced players who have great difficulty concluding a game, and even then they have great difficulty in maintaining the score sheet which would prove that 50 moves have passed. | | | Therefore the rules were changed to give the stronger side a chance to convert those endgames by allowing one hundred moves in some situations. | | | At one time the 50 move rule was extended to 100 moves for certain endgames, but as more and more such endgames weere found, the rule (wisely) went back to 50 moves. |

| | What happens is that Go and Gonnect both use a common set of rules, namely, those for capturing with no liberties, Ko,..., but each game uses them in a different role, Go for territory grabbing, and Gonnect for connection patterns. | | | What Go players are using when they play Gonnect is the knowledge they have in those common rules, but there are other parts in Gonnect that experience Gonnect players will get and play consistly better. | | | Notice that the "No pass" rule, together with the "No suicide" rule, implies that there is no safe uncapturable two hole structures, since sooner or later a player needs to fill them in order to keep moving. |
