So today I got excused from a survivor tournament. Not a rare site for me :) but the thing is we were doing well. Averaging above 60% !!
That left me totally flummoxed. I located the host of the tournament and asked him what caused this.

He suggested it could be because of my partner being red.

Now I find that very unfair. Just because my partner was red for few seconds at the time of round change, we shouldn't get thrown out. The software can very well seat us to the appropriate table and we can seek sub if required. Its not that survivor tournaments don't have reds and subs at all.

Would the top management agree? :)

Thanks,
Mukesh

My concern was not whether the director was correct or not.

My concern was about the flaw that I sense in the logic of elimination.

Anyway, thanks for the link. I'll post my query there.

Thanks,
Mukesh
