The rules (which you blatantly violated, by the way, by making a substitution without waiting for permission from the tournament organizers) are the rules, but there's also common sense. And I am guided by it in my judgments. I spent some time on the tournament, and I want the tournament to remain interesting, and not turn into a circus where everyone does whatever they want.
Well, finally, a sensible post. Let's wait for the judges, and not create another circus, there are already too many of them here.
