Robert's Rules version 11 is out- changes

[AceKingNeverWins]

Evidently, there is a new version of Robert's rules.

I see no significant changes in this version.

Here are the changes that I noticed-

Poker Etiquette
Added the following rule-
Softplaying by refusing to bet against a certain opponent whenever heads-up.

------------
3- General Poker Rules
Showdown

Rule 8 bold added
If everyone checks (or is all-in) on the final betting round, the player who acted first is the first to show the hand. If there is wagering on the final betting round, the last player to take aggressive action by a bet or raise is the first to show the hand. In order to speed up the game, a player holding a probable winner is encouraged to show the hand without delay. If there are one or more side pots (because someone is all-in), players are asked to aid in determining the pot winner by not showing their cards until a pot they are in is being settled. A player may opt to throw his hand away after all the betting for the deal is over, rather than compete to win the pot. However, the other players do not lose the right to request the hand be shown if he does so.

---------
Section 4- Button and Blind Use

Rule 3 bold added
In heads-up play with two blinds, the small blind is on the button. When play becomes heads-up, the player who had the big blind the most recently is given the button, and his opponent is given the big blind.

Rule 4 bolded part has been changed
how is reads in version 10
If the player with the lowcard is all-in for the ante, the person to that player’s left acts first. If the player with the lowcard has only enough chips for a portion of the forced bet, the wager is made. All other players must enter for at least the normal amount in that structure.

how it reads in version 11
If the player with the lowcard is all-in for the ante (or any player designated to start the action on a round of betting is all-in), betting action proceeds to the first active player to the left of the all-in player.  If the player with the lowcard has only enough chips for a portion of the forced bet, the wager is made. All other players must enter for at least the normal amount in that structure.

------------------------
Section 15- Tournaments

Rule 31- bold part added
In heads-up play with two blinds, the small blind is on the button. When play becomes heads-up, the player who had the big blind the most recently is given the button, and his opponent is given the big blind.

---------
Glossary
Added the following definition
SOFTPLAY: To show favoritism to a particular opponent by checking throughout a deal whenever heads-up. This refusal to bet with a good hand or bluff with a bad hand when facing a certain person, however motivated, is still improper poker behavior. Softplaying is actually a form of collusion, and may be penalized as such.

Interesting changes.  I wonder if the change to rule 8 was done in reaction to the WSOP ruling, or just spontaneously determined.
