Go up one level in this thread


Djordje, you could be VERY right, especially if commercial interests are at play
here---(and not merely performance issues of the tournament). Did you note how
the ban was structured? LIST had played 3 of the 4 leaders. The ban would not
take efect until LIST palyed the fourth one-- in order to preserve the
disposition of the tournament.
If something is unethical, then it is unethical in any round. Rigging tournament
outcome is also questionable.Turning a blind eye to a violation for one round
deliberately is also on first glance, an ethical issue of its own. But I
understand DL's need to minimize damage here.
