lovelysharon: No worries, me lovely. These things happen and it's not a question of blaming. And certainly I'd cut off my paws before even considering that you'd do something like this deliberately.

But it is a problem with the format that it's vulnerable to upsets of this nature. Your busyness has brought the matter to light, that's all. It's going to be a concern in future Triple until it's addressed.

And it's a definite problem. In a TTT or Triple, coming second, third, etc, does mean something (for all but the most competitive of players). Resignations and timeouts can thus change the outcome for many of the players in the tourney, not just who wins.
