In Response To: Barring Players from ABT Events (Bill Riles)

A few years ago, someone was barred from a tournament for breaking an engagement to be married. From what I knew about the situation, I thought it was reasonable to bar the player. A committee would not have been an effective way to adjudicate the situation.

I don't see any good way to stop a director from barring a player. But, public opinion can be a powerful incentive to use the tool sparingly. I think that's the best way to discourage abuses. I am not likely to attend any tournament where Ray is not welcome.
