In Response To: CLOCK-troversy 2 (Stick)

Well I can imagine Joe might have thought or hoped that the circumstances and the interest of fairness might have led to a different decision upon appeal. I just don't happen to believe that any panel of three disinterested experts would have unanimously disagreed with Pat's ruling (or for that matter do I think anyone would have).

That said, the US Constitution codifies the right to due process, so if some nut shoots someone on national television, they still get a trial and a proper defense.

I don't see how the "solution dictated by fairness" is found by denying a player his right to appeal specifically codified in the rules, and nowhere published as not applicable at the event.

Show the player the relevant rule in black and white and give them the chance to change their mind on the appeal, but if they still question the interpretation given the circumstances, well, convene the panel.
