Go up one level in this thread

Some good points.

But the real problems was not having rules laid out a priori the disaster.

Truth be told. They should have had rule stating , if any party loses connection
for more than an hour they will forfeit. Apparently, Junior could not connect,
if the clock had been running, they would lose.

They should have just relayed the damn moves via telephone (since apparently
an arbiter was on site with jr.), but in the stress of the situation, it
was not thought of.

After reading Migs explanation, I feel  the Shay/Amir position was
a little overstated and Adams did not act so badly after all.

The real problem , as stated by Mig, was the lack of written rules to
handle the situation.  Given no rules, they they made a decision, not
an unreasonable decision, in my view.
