I did not suggest that he leave it unresolved - it's just that I'm  
not convinced an appeals committee is the right way to resolve it. If  
it's a matter of regulations under the purview of the sponsoring  
organization, I would think the SO's Tournament Committee or some  
such would be the right place.  Besides, if the AC is chosen from  
amongst the players at the event, I don't think they're likely to  
know any more than the director what the correct answer is.
