In Response To: Unfortunate Clock Event in Las Vegas (Bill Riles)

This situation was most unfortunate and the staff is partly to blame for not being as attentive as they've been at some other tourneys, however, in defence of the staff, they rightly realized that there was to be no more play that day and therefore no severe time pressure issues.

Player A is more at fault for not bringing things to the attention of the staff after two hours or so. Player A should have been far more aggressive in complaining to the staff about Player B's rediculously slow play.

Player A also told me that while on the clocks, there was a situation where Player B put himself on the bar, and then Player A tried to correct this while they were arguing and pushing the clock back and forth. Player A is supposed to scream "director" here.

Had I been Player A I'd have gone to the staff after two hours when the score was 4-3 (I walked by then) and I'd be in Vegas Metro Jail now for breaking Player B's jaw after he'd said that I deserved to lose when I timed out. (This assuming my first punch could connect and be hard enough)

A good lesson for Player A and others...don't take shit from shitheads.
