Looking for a Judge: Distorted Match

[Creamsteak]

The above match has gone completely bad, from about the 3rd move. It was a speed/strategy match, and my opponent forgot that. You can read through the thread, and pay particular attention to the moves used by fighters (check to see if the moves were in the fighter's hands). At the end of the thread I summarized the mistakes.

What is the solution when something like this happens? 1/2 of the moves by Tori Sadoshi were not from the hand given, and I am not sure what to do.

Ouch - thats an ugly situation no two ways about it.

In the future the best thing to do is to call attention to the mistake immediatelly after the round is over. Or did you not notice it till the end of the fight? If you did not notice it till the end that makes for a bad situation. if you noticed it immediatelly you should draw attention to it immediately

A fighter who enters a random move in a strategy match might have done so accidentally and the first time it happens IMO both opponent and judge should be gracious about it and allow a new move to be given with perhaps a warning. A second and third offense should probably be dealt with much as Yellow Sign dealt with it, but it still makes for an bad situation.

Before the last move of the fight, I must have re-read Tori's hand a few times over, because the move that he used last triggered my mind to instantly go into, "hey wait a second" mode. Then I backtracked to make sure this was a single offense, and found that it wasn't, so I decided that it would be best to point out the whole match. Had I noticed the first time, I would have said so, and of course we would have re-did the round, which would have been no problem or sweat of my back.

 

[Yellow Sign]

Yes, I didn't notice the moves until creamsteak pointed it out. The first two are not as bad as Creamsteak won both of them but he last one was the winning move for the match. I am sorry we both didn't notice the player generated moves until the end. How should I have handled it?

If you recheck, the first point was scored off of a random move as well.

I am not sure, other than noticing it immediately you could have done much different. It does make the whole fight messed up and Rathan should have paid better attention himself.
