The Facts: One of the players of this match was 3 minutes late to arrive at the table.

The Director: Applied the penalty, prescribed in the regulations.

Ruling: 1VP Penalty

The Player appealed.

The Player: Is a well known personality, who had been in an official meeting prior to the match.
He thought it was unfair to his team to punish them for his engagements.
He always plays fast enough and in fact ended the match with almost half an hour to spare.

The Committee: Noted that the regulations contain automatic penalties for some good reasons.
The Committee did not accept the excuse for being late and did not think that the case should have been put before the Committee.

The Committee's decision: Director's decision upheld.

Relevant Laws: Regulation B.2.1

Deposit: Forfeited
