Let's not be laying blame on that penalty.
I've read this forum and I see people being blamed for it. Other players, the ladder op, staff, you name it.
Every story has 3 sides, your side, my side and somewhere in the middle you will find the truth.
Don't be making judgements until you hear all sides.
A warning was sent on August 31 for same house partnering. The rules for that are quite specific and are Case's wide. They do NOT target any ladder, they are equal to all ladders, large and small.
After that warning, the rules were still ignored. At that time, Research Team stepped in and did their own investigation and issued a penalty for same house partnering. RESEARCH TEAM, not Patty. RESEARCH TEAM, not another player.
The penalty has been appealed and handled. It's up to Jim and Karen if they care to share the ruling with all of you.
Now, please leave the ladder op and other players out of this.
That was pretty chitty. Using a quesiton I asked you back on September lst during a match. A friendly conversation...
: I won't be doing that again. I have learned my lesson.
