"That is why we state in the regulations that players should simply stay at the table and not leave."
This policy does not work when there is no scoresheet at the table. Player is on time. Checks for scoresheet before heading to assigned table. No scoresheet. Goes to table and starts waiting. No opponent. Now what?
You go look to see if a scoresheet has been printed recently and check to see what match you are waiting for and why there is a holdup and get forfeited, obviously.
The problem here is that the tournament director refuses to admit there is a problem, and thus the problem will continue to exist.
WTF is with the "the ref yelled really loud"? What happened to 5 minute calls over the mic so that Kevin could actually hear the warning from anywhere in the tournament room while he is running around trying to find out what is going on and where his opponent is?
