Another.suggestion is allow the redo but give him a point penalty to balance, so he has to win almost all games and with high Pf to be the second in team

Then.....I understand. The problem is losing "a great player". If timed out a fluffy he didn't have an other opportunity. Now I'm sure this is unfair to annemariew28 that is third player.

Hmm no offense to fluffy.... I just feel sorry about his time out since I seldom see him participant in tourneys, eventually it's his fault for sure.

One quick thing. With those particular 3 losses, he could still be #1 seed in our division. Assuming he wins all other games. But we don't know all other results... Sad

Oh, then I worried too much.

The issue isn't losing or keeping a player - I believe Torbreck and Awepertunity were simply being compassionate. My issue is the precedent... anyone could time out and then later give an excuse to try again. I catch students lying all the time after missing deadlines so maybe I'm jaded but the rules are clear here. Also, there are prizes at stake for underdogs going far in the tourny. Regardless, I won't complain any more as Torbreck and Awpertunity have put a ton of effort and money into this.

I'm not offending fluffies. I'm trying to explain (in my very poor English) that ALL the players must have same rules. Same opportunities to fluffies than titans. In my opinion ALL timed out must go home. Rules can not be changed during tourney.

I do agree with it. Everyone should be treated the same way, and the way the rules say. If joel had said about his problem before timing out it wouldn't have been the same deal, but here it is clear that his timeouts are timeouts, period. Smile

Thx - Torbreck and Awpertunity.

I agree with Alan

In fact, my poor English. When this forum in Spanish? I'm sorry His Daddy.
