Forfeit questions

I mean that, as hard as I try, somewhere between 1 in 500 to 1 in 1000 games I direct turns out to have a player I should not have paired because he had either requested a bye that I had overlooked or thought he had, but had done so improperly. If the Oregon Open has a similar rated to events that I direct, you’ll likely have such a dispute every year or two.

This is always a possibility. In these cases the person wouldn’t be barred from playing in the following years Oregon Open.

People come to my tournaments to play, not to sit around and pocket free (tournament) points. As such I have contempt for anyone who forfeits a game.

I totally agree, that’s why I’m putting a policy in place to discourage forfeits.
