Sitting Out
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2009 1:56 am
Greetings,
Not sure if this has been brought up or not, but here goes. I am having players pre-register for tournaments and not show up to play them, and sometimes even place in the money. The players showing up are complaining that it is not fair nor fun, to have people just sitting there not participating and then finish ahead of a live player.
So, how can I remove a player from a tourney that does not show up, say, after level 4 ends? I've looked for an official ruling on this, ,but could not find anything that addressed this particular issue. Is it a matter of making it a house rule, and if so can it be implemented?
Thank you,
Chris
