Director's call: simple overdraw.

Director's call: request to announce to players to tidy their tables before moving on, squaring tiles and removing personal items. Paradoxically, it's the players who will heed such announcements that do not need to hear them.

Director's call: Play three tiles, draw four, put one on rack, then notice overddraw. Or possibly, play three tiles from an eight-tile rack, draw three replacement tiles and notice the overdrawn rack before mixing. Neither player had a clear memory of there being eight tiles before the play was made, and the player who made the play had a reasonable guess as to which tile she had put on the rack. All eight tiles are mixed, and opponent sees three and rebags one.
