Just walking out is not an acceptable practice in my opinion.<br /><br />When it comes to TO fixing the problem, it sounds like a nice idea, but not something that can easily be done. If a person is "upset" because they have lost their first couple games and realize they are out of contention, there is nothing the TO can do that isn't unfair to other players.John Gaszakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924956544538183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565295932127051762.post-4568363366156175882010-03-23T11:01:24.823-05:002010-03-23T11:01:24.823-05:00I see and agree with your point.

This is a hobby and its something we all do for fun, so when the fun stops we should look elsewhere.<br /><br />That said, I would hope that the person choosing to leave because the tournament is so un-fun would take the time to talk to the tourney organizer first. I have seen tournaments where competitors have walked on day 2 without saying a word. This leaves the TO no way to rectify or even understand what the problem was. <br /><br />By the same token, I would hope that the TO, when faced with someone having that bad of a time, would do everything in their power to fix the situation that drove the decision to leave.Nixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771913395327076284noreply@blogger.com
