In contrary, there is no angle shooting going on even remotely and we're just asking for this tournament series to honor the Rules they created themselves.
I must say that "everyone knows that if you don't cash in a tournament you don't get the points" is a false statement in regards to this series. I had overheard someone (a player) saying that a 20-somethingth, noncashing finish in some tourney was good for some pointage... He was talking about the hu...but I thought at the time he was referring to all prelim events, and had assumed the same until someone had told me otherwise, even though it would have been kind of unusual to give points for non cashing. (I had a 20 somethingth, noncashing finish in the 7 game). So there was at least a little confusion in the field, unless you were the same one I overheard near my table talking about it during round 2 of the hu.
If whoever you spoke to actually used the word angle, that was completely inappropriate, if you and William had indeed assumed all week that he had these extra points, and he had made tourney playing plans based on that assumption. I dont know if you have a completely valid point or not, I'm not in chicago any more and didn't study the points series sheets too closely when I was there, but it sounds like whoever you spoke to was a bit too defensive about IMO a fair question, if the tourney series scoring sheets were in fact as you claim them to be.
Hope you get a better explanation than what you mentioned receiving tonight. The guys running this are pretty on top of things, I'm pretty sure the official rules for the promo somewhere must back them up, because the "everyone knows..." defense doesn't apply here IMO... How could they expect everyone to know how they choose to award points for thir own series? If there's truly nothing that mentions cashing on the scoring rubric, then it seems clear to me he's earned the points.

Reason: 5 pts not 2
