"I must admit I would take a less formal view of things.
Wasn’t the problem that the player did not measure carefully who had the point?
It seems he genuinely believed he should throw.
It was only after a more careful look (measurement) that he discovered he had played out of turn.
I would think for a social game you would tolerate this carelessness."
I am sure that if the offending player invokes what Don wrote in paras 2, 3 and 4, the referee will accept that it was simply an honest mistake rather than done on purpose and not take any action, even in a formal game.
Naturally, if that player does it again then referee will apply the rule.
If I am not mistaken, Mike Pegg reached that conclusion in a similar situation before. A referee is not God, thank God!
In my first response, I paid too much attention to the fact that the opponents had warned the player that he had the point and not enough to the fact that it happened in parallel, etc.
Thanks Don
