Definition
A Charleston stop is one player declining the optional second Charleston, which any single player may do before its first tile is passed; the first Charleston can never be stopped.
Say it once, clearly, in the gap between the two rounds. The courtesy pass across the table is still available after a stop. Players stop because their hand is settled, or so that a stop does not always mean a made hand.

See it on real tiles: the coach reads any hand and names its direction, free, at the free read. Members get the coach on call for their own games.
