In Response To: Dealing with sandbaggers (Justin N.)

In principle I think it wrong to let the 'sandbagger' into the fish pond.

Most tournament brochures include some statement about their 'limited jackpot' being restricted to players who have not cashed in Masters or Championship tournaments -- or words to that effect -- and also make some statement about director discretion.

However, I think it unfair to those who've reasonably entered a 'limited jackpot' to have a shark thrown in with them, even if the 'masters jackpot' is full. That's the hazard one risks by not registering earlier.

Brings to mind the continuing arguments over how long a successful advanced/intermediate player should be allowed to play in the advanced/intermediate tournaments. Same applies to the jackpots.
