If I were a TD and this came to my attention

e) At committee on giving my side of the story as TD, I would have said that the hit was forced so I ruled Herb should be on the bar. I would have also said my decision was in the best interests of the event, and fairness to everyone who comes to my event and that I had invoked Rule 1.1's clause that says "No set of rules should deprive the Director of his freedom of judgement or prevent him from finding the solution dictated by fairness and compatible with the circumstances of a particular case."

For what it's worth, I'm a firm believer that the ruling committee, where possible, should NOT know what the TD's decision was. They should simply be given the facts and asked to rule. That's only fair to the player making the appeal.
