Just so you realize, "my tournaments" is not BBO tourmanents in particular. Each TD and sponsoring organization runs their own tournaments, so the dis-invite was for ones I run and/or start rather than the thousands of those on the BBO I am not associated with.
I understood that, that's why I said "I'll try to remember..."

In addition, I hope you understand the smiley face takes away some of the harshness of my comments..,.. suggesting it is meant more as being humous than serious. The real problem on line is tourmanent leavers and extremely rude people. Small tounaments have the director issue such a ruling at most once or twice per event, and most often not at all. So this is hardly something I would really lose sleep over. In addition, unlike many other tournaments, we spell out in writting how we apply WBF rules (including the part about "obvious" results). We also try to go to unfinshed tables BEFORE the round is over to get a flavor for the play.
Are you suggesting I am not unwelcome in your tournaments?
Jilly,
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. Heh. I seem to remember those rules from somewhere.
Club directors are notorius for ignoring the laws. There's a director here who once told me "I can make any ruling I want". When I agreed, with the caveat that the statement is true only if the ruling is lawful, she demurred. Vehemently. She still does.
