31. Tiles Above the Table

Never put any tiles below the plane of the table. All tiles must be kept in sight except when being transferred from rack to board (or vice versa in the case of a change in play) or bag (or table) to rack (or vice versa for exchanges). And the palm should be opened and face opponent whenever the hand goes into the bag.
