Penalty Card?

Don't forget: After Earl won his 14.1 match in the latest 14.1 World Championships, which left him the winner of his group and meant he would advance to the elimination rounds, he assaulted Hunter Lombardo who had been practicing on a table near Earl's match. Apparently, Earl was upset at Hunter for talking to Joshua Filler while they practiced. Earl was promptly thrown out of the tournament, and his prize money was forfeited.

Shortly thereafter, Earl's reputation was suddenly rehabilitated when he was chosen for the Mosconi Cup. :oops: But karma is a bitch, and Earl was prevented from playing in the Mosconi Cup because someone on his plane to Europe tested positive for covid, and Earl was not vaccinated.
Can’t disagree with you on that,,,,,

This incident took place at the 2021 American 14.1 Championships, not the 14.1 World Championships.
I was the referee.
Hunter was conversing with Jerry McWhorter (not Josh Filler) during and after his match on the table next to the Earl/Albin match.
Earl lost his match against Albin Ouschan and blamed Hunter for distracting him.
After a heated face-to-face, Earl put his hands on Hunter and then refused to apologize.
Earl, at that point, had won prize money and qualified for the elimination round.
Earl was not the winner of his group. He finished in second place.
Earl was then disqualified from further play.
Earl's prize money was returned to the total prize fund.
Earl is now barred from playing at Q-Masters and future American 14.1 Championships.
Most of the players in the room were European, and they were unanimously in favor of the decision.
I've been a referee for over 40 years and I had never before seen a player assault another player in the arena.

Thanks for correcting me and providing additional details. I watched the match, and if I remember correctly, during the match Earl went looking for the TD to try to stop Hunter Lombardo from practicing on that table.
