Mark,
Even if you had started in one direction and then changed your mind, it's still nobody's business but yours.

damn! Something rarely seen!!
Genuinely impressed that you got on the phone and worked things out. Right or wrong Mark did take one of the reasonable options. Having listened to the interview on the broadcast taking the second placed player out of the round robin was the only reasonable option considering how they planned for things to work.
Nobody has to agree to anything. Agreeing to disagree is enough sometimes.
Rep headed your way. With two billion points and two dollars you get a Twinkie.

Now I think you are projecting your family's feeling about the fact that your mom and pops procreated.......

This coming from the biggest nit on this message board.
Everyone has spoken about you.
Rumor has it, they be makin twinkies again. I want one right about now and I have 2 billion tarnished points from rep Ho-ing. Do tell me Hu, where do I cash them in? I'd settle for a Ho Ho.
Scenario 1
Yes it seems clear that is exactly what happened. Scenario 1. CSI was hit cold with Ralf's withdrawal/forfeit/departure/demurrer/boogy and didn't figure what to do until Ralf had left thinking (as confirmed by his check) he got the losers share of his semi-final match. Ironically CSI comes up with a good plan to handle the situation - one that is good for players, fans, and CSI, and one that will surely become policy if this format survives - BUT for some dumbfounding reason CSI refuses to admit it. Why? Instead we're led to believe Ralf is the bad guy who all but sneaked out with a typo check? And there may be sanctions? Maybe the sanctions should go to the people whose late discovery of the right policy threw the tournament into havoc, with an apology to the people who are now being impugned for their reaction to the havoc.

No wonder people thought the tournament was rigged. For example, lets say Player A knew he couldn't beat Player B, therefore, Player A forfeits so his buddy, Player X, can play for him. Lucky Ko won, therefore, it's as if nothing happened.
Not saying it was rigged but there is a reason why players should not be allowed back in, after elimination. Erases all doubts.

Good god you are the poster child for whats wrong in public education......
Well..... All I can say is that everyone in the pool room tonight can't believe that a group of backers would not want to play again when they have the nuts.
I don't know....I would have said flip it if I had won.
Then again I don't have to ask anyone's permission to play just like Mark Griffin doesn't need anyone's permission to run his events as he wishes to run them.
Nice work TimKrazyMon!

Hey John... Gail has some complications going on right now from her bout with cancer.... Lou will be a little distracted for awhile while she heals up... The prognosis is good for her getting healthy but between then and now I told Lou I would lay off... If you had read the same post I know you well enough that you would too.... Just tell Lou you have a rain check you intend to cash........

make mine a hu-big pie
Don't bother, besides other things to cut the size and quality of the twinkies now they are freezing them before shipping. Might as well save your points for something big, maybe a dollar off a gold membership or something.
Man, I haven't even thought of a Ho Ho in years. Sugar rush extraordinaire! What I'm missing down here is hu-big pies, no connection to me. The kitchen burned down and they went away. Somebody tried to fill the gap but failed miserably by the reports I have gotten. A glazed fried pie. Doesn't seem that hard but the imitators including the hamburger chains don't even come close.

Give me strength. Kid Dynamite I thought that you were more sensible than to get to the level of 'when does a match start'.
Let's just shut this thread down because nothing more is set to change except maybe a response from Ralf. But he should only need to keep things between himself and Mark.
Furthermore Mark should not be required to disclose the content of this communication

Agreed Doug! I was pointing out the possibility of future problems with tardiness and enforcement measures conflicting with the new policy!
Not here to argue what constitutes start of a match.

After I won I would have said "flip it" too but after all your crawfishing on *every other single bet* it was pretty obvious you were done.

It's OK, Chris. John has no honor and is incapable of experiencing shame. He's just behaving true to form.
