My issue is the precedent... anyone could time out and then later give an excuse to try again. I catch students lying all the time after missing deadlines so maybe I'm jaded but the rules are clear here. Also, there are prizes at stake for underdogs going far in the tourny. Regardless, I won't complain any more as Torbreck and Awpertunity have put a ton of effort and money into this.

I do agree with it. Everyone should be treated the same way, and the way the rules say. If joel had said about his problem before timing out it wouldn't have been the same deal, but here it is clear that his timeouts are timeouts, period.
