Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

Since things have been quite, I thought I would throw this out.

Let's say you are at a tournament (either playing in it or just
observing the goings on). Maybe your opponent is doing some moves and
you happen to observe your neighbor's game. What do you do if you see a
mistake being made in someone else's game, that neither of the players
realize? For example, they could be discussing a rules question and
come to the wrong conclusion. Is it proper to interject oneself and
inform them of the proper rule or suggest they call over the umpire?
What if one player is doing something incorrectly and the other player
doesn't see it?

I have been in this situation and pretty much kept my mouth shut.
Unless both players are struggling over the rule, in which case I have
offered my opinion.

What is the proper etiquette for this situation?

my opinion on the matter is the same as going dinner at my neighbor's house;
it's rude to walk in univited, even if I know the chicken is spoiled. :-)

Charlie, in my opinion that has to do with the setting and the exact nature of
the issue. Here in KC, there's no question I'd say something if I saw the game
being played incorrectly. I do believe that players are 100% responsible for
knowing the rules, but it is an intricate game and everyone, myself included,
makes honest mistakes. I think we all improve at the local level by watching
out for each other.

In a national setting, I would mention it to the umpire. Its just a different
setting altogether, and things like that are best handled by him.

I don't think I'd ignore it unless it was minor to the game and could be
mentioned afterward. But that may be a personal bias related to my desire to
see Warrior played correctly - a lot of which has to do with memories of
versions of rules sets of old - again my such memories included.
