Can you appeal violations that require a call & a second - as opposed to violations that are a group majority decision? Eg Can you appeal a stance violation, or a courtesy violation? Or is it that once they are called, that's it, you're done?
Reading through 801.03 it says
With the context of Clause A, the use of the phrase 'group decision' in Clause B seems to suggest that you can only appeal decisions made by the group as a whole. And therefore not decisions, which are just called & confirmed.
And a second question on this topic of group calls vs call&confirm violations. What differentiates the rules that require a group decision, from the rules that require a caller & a confirmation? Is there a philosophical(?), principled, or logical difference?
And how are they differentiated in the rule book? I could tell you which rules are which - but I couldn't pinpoint why or how I know that.:\

801.03 Appeals
A. When a group cannot reach a majority decision regarding a ruling, the ruling is based on the interpretation that is most beneficial to the thrower.
B. A player may appeal a group decision to an Official, or an Official's decision to the Director, by clearly and promptly stating that desire to the group. If an Official or the Director is readily available, the group may stand aside and allow other groups to play through while the appeal is being heard.
