A very postmodern pov. :)  Disagree.  Actions should have consequences.  Think
of all the effort that has gone into this tournament, and this screwball blows
it all off.  If you enter a tournament, you have to play by the rules, and that
includes the TD decision.  Otherwise, you have anarchy.  CCT isn't something you
can just spit on without consequences.
