"I do recall a miserable weekend 10-15 years ago, all because a rather slow player was allowed to play main, masters, doubles, and qualified twice for the blitz. Bcuz of concern over the obvious Sunday conflicts, I had to play my conso match with him at 1am (a round behind bcuz he was slow). I won but had to then play the next rd at 9 am so the loser could go into the LC rather than delay it somewhat. Things were worse on Sunday as this guy and his pard took nearly 3 hours to play their doubles semi match (mercifully they lost). A couple of players had to change flight plans to play late Sunday afternoon a past normal dinner hour in one case. I wasn't the only one, forced to play very late Saturday and very early Sunday all bcuz of this one player and his conflicts caused by inattentive directing and staff. Guess which T I didn't attend for a couple years afterward ?!? "

Do any TDs explicitly keep track of events entered into by a player by doing something like the following?

Have a card for each player in a tournament. When the player enters a event write it on that card and when a player gets eliminated cross that event off. Sometimes there is an announcement that any player still alive in the main event cannot enter a certain side event but it does not work so well.
