Great event as usual thanks to APAT and DTD, very well run and a big congrats to all the cashers, medalist and winners.
Regarding problems with individuals, what I don"t get, if you have a problem why don"t you have a quiet word at the break or whenever, if that doesn"t work mention it to the TD or APAT.
Why do people always wait until they get behind their keyboards and start threads to raise these matters??
As usual I didn"t see any bother but I was rubbed down three times at the table the first time I let my game do the talking and bust him out, the second I had a quiet word on the break and he apologised (WP) the third time I was just too tired and it was coming from a guy I previously thought was nice and quiet but before I got a chance to fist him I moved tables and it was washing over me anyway.
You are always going to come across problems in any tournament you play, I"ve played many GUK games and in everyone I have seen more bother than I did this weekend. It is just another part of the tourney process that you have manage and resolve yourself, add it to your tilt control process ;)

I certainly did not wait until "hiding behind a keyboard" - ask anyone, I say what I feel - probably too much sometimes!
I can imagine however, that most people would not want to say much as he comes accross as intimidating. There was only one incident involving me, which I did mention at the time - but I heard alot more just not involving me.

As to the point of being a "colourfull" character, yes he certainly is, and other times I have been in tournaments with him they were certainly not dull!!
On this occasion however, he did overstep the mark on more than one occasion and I am pretty sure even he will admit it.

I would also refute any accusation of hiding behind a keyboard....my identity is no secret. I re-iterate that my point was not so much against the individual concerned but more to do with the lack of action against the transgressions. As far as the individual is concerned, again I re-iterate that I don"t know the guy. Its irrelevant who it was... colourful character or not. The sort of behaviour I witnessed was over the top, unprofessional and unacceptable....in my opinion. If you like that sort of thing and feel it adds to the atmosphere then I respect your opinion but we will have to disagree. I am all for having characters at the table but there have to be some limits and standards of behaviour and on this occasion there didnt seem to be. It didn"t affect my game, it didn"t cause me to "tilt" - but it certainly wasn"t enjoyable or fun which is the atmosphere I would prefer to play in.
Yes I could have "had a quiet word" at the time but firstly I don"t feel it is for individual players to request tournament directors take action against their opponenents and in any case the management can hardly have been unaware of what was happening as they were in close proximity for much of the time I was at the table in question. Secondly I had more pressing things to do with my time during the short breaks. Thirdly I wanted to concentrate on my own game at the time and not other people"s. I did think it was worth raising afterwards as a lesson that could be learned for future events
Anyway, the original point wasn"t supposed to turn into a slanging match between people who like it rough and those that don"t :-) - it was just an opinion. We"re all entitled to them. Nor was this the abiding memory of the event I shall be taking away with me. The most important thing is that overall it was a well organised and enjoyable weekend and regardless of minor issues like this I am looking forward to the next one

Not those exact words, no, but words to that effect.
Lets agree to disagree ;)
