Subject: ICGA decision was correct

I don't quite understand all the hysteria here.  It was a very simple decision.
The author failed to comply with one of the rules, and was disqualified.

If it had been my call, I would not have mentioned anything concerning Crafty or
any of the allegations.  I would simply have said that the author had not
complied with a request of the organizer, and was disqualified.  End of story.

Note that I have no idea or opinion concerning the clone issue.  I would point
out, however, that the author's failure to comply with the rules indicates guilt
of some sort.  Could be something unrelated to cloning, we just don't know.  The
point is, one cannot enter a tournament, agree to the rules, and then break the
rules without sanction.

I applaud the decision by Mr. Levy and the board.  Very courageous and
responsible.  They obviously care about their tournament and their organization.
