Default Ruling

I thought this was a poor ruling but Im interested in what others have to say about this.

6 way action to the flop which comes out.

The SB apparently doesn't do anything, but the BB THOUGHT he pounded the table for a check so the BB checks, limper 1 checks limper 2 checks limper 3 checks limper 4 checks.... SB announces wait I didn't act yet...and bets out

I complain and say that he can't take that long to announce that he hasn't acted yet as 5 players all checked already and a floor is called over.

Floor asks the dealer if he saw SB check he said he's not sure, BB says neither is he but obviously he acted bc he thought he checked. Floor asks SB if he checked and SB says no. Floor says ok if he didnt check then he gets to act..

I complain that my point isnt whether or not he checked (he didnt for all i know) I was just complaining that he didnt announce hey i didnt check until ALL 5 other players had acted... he now has information about everyone in the hand and now decides to bet. Floor disagreed w me and I thought it was clearly the incorrect ruling

Other opinions?
