I guess the guidlines are just that due to so many possible variables.

If the tourney is full and someone can fill the spot and keep the $$ relatively close, no biggie.

If the tourney is just scraping by and the TD would have to supplement the tourney with her own $$ due to the withdrawl, that would be undesireable.

If the player has a reputation of being a flake and frequently 'no shows' I would be more apt to enforce the guidelines.


In the hypothetical situation presented I would rather have a 'D.' option which would allow the player to compete in a division that was appropriate to the skill level of playing with the off hand if she wanted to play.

TD decisions are tough....
