Ruling Question: Oversize Chip Thrown On Top of Blind

[Todd Terry]

This issue has come up a few times in recent tournaments I played, with of course different rulings at different places and different rulings at the same place. If someone in the blinds throws an oversize chip out on top of the blind (that is, without pulling back the blind), is it a call or a raise? For example, folded around to the SB, blinds 100/200, SB throws out a 500 chip on top of the 100 chip already out there without saying anything.
