ACBL Clubs don't have to implement ACs, as I understand the rules, and an AC implementation would be, imo, undesirable anyway. I understand the desire to appeal an unfavourable at-the-table ruling but I doubt we're going to consider implementing ACs anytime soon.

Appeals can legally be heard by a director.

"LAW 93 - PROCEDURES OF APPEAL
A. No Appeals Committee
The Director in charge shall hear and rule upon all appeals if there is no Appeals Committee (or alternative arrangement under Law 80B2(k)), or if such cannot operate without disturbing the orderly progress of the tournament."

Well, I have posted a picture, but I am a director only IRL, not online.

That makes sense for large, real-life tournaments. But how many club games have a Director in Charge distinct from the Director?

For club games the most sensible option is to consult a referee by telephone.
