Bricking the pull: you don't have to take it »
There’s nothing in the 11th edition rules that say that you have to take it if you brick it. Additionally, you’re supposed to call either “brick”or “middle,” apparently not just brick and then decide which is further out. And the clapping thing seems to be completely convention - it’s just one hand extended overhead. Someone mentioned this rule at fall league the other day; nice to know he was right.
