The Facts: One of the players of this match was 3 minutes
late to arrive at the table.
The Director: Applied the
penalty, prescribed in the regulations.
Ruling: 1VP Penalty
The Player appealed.
The Player: Is a well known
personality, who had been in an official meeting prior to the match.
He thought it was unfair to his team to punish them for his engagements.
He always plays fast enough and in fact ended the match with almost
half an hour to spare.
The Committee: Noted that
the regulations contain automatic penalties for some good reasons.
The Committee did not accept
the excuse for being late and did not think that the case should
have been put before the Committee.
The Committee's decision:
Director's decision upheld.
Relevant Laws: Regulation
B.2.1
Deposit: Forfeited
