I know he has played MTG, though the only card games I ever see him play are Hearthstone (which is entirely digital and not really relevant to this) and Redemption.This is also far from the first time he's tried to make a bogus ruling when the rules were inconvenient for him.

It's never a bad idea to make a rule questions post, even for things that seem trivially simple.

Judges and referees are not permitted to play in any of the categories that they are officiating.

If he is that's an issue beyond simply ruling poorly.Quote from: Host GuideJudges and referees are not permitted to play in any of the categories that they are officiating.
"Shouldn't," but not required to if it is a local or district tournament, particularly if there are no other players who are experienced enough to judge. If there is an odd number of players they can either agree for the judge to play and judge or someone can get a buy.
Quote from: YourMathTeacher on July 26, 2010, 03:39:35 PMHmmm.... the rules say that there has to be a non-playing judge. Are we just tossing that rule because we trust each other? Does Rob give his stamp of approval on this policy? I would certainly love to play in my own tournaments.Officially the Tournament Guide States that the judge/host is permitted to play in a category he is not judging provided it does not interfer with his duties judging the other categories. That said, I don't enforce this on local play groups if the players want their host to play with them and believe that the host/judge will rule fairly for everyone. Last year I hosted the NC State Tournament here in Hayesville. Clift Crysel, Eric Largent, Tyler Stevens, the Kamke family and a few others joined the Andersons for the tournament. I was planning to judge and not play. Those who traveled here asked that I play too. I joined in and we had a great time. I can't recall any problems. I can't see it making sense in a big multi-category event. There is just too much to do as host. But, for events of 20 players or less, it's okay with me if it's okay with the players there.

If there is an odd number of players they can either agree for the judge to play and judge or someone can get a buy. I agree for the most part. Tournaments that level in my area tend to be extremely small and I do regularly judge other people's games in the same category I am playing but still not ever a question from an individual game I am participating in. Even with the most limited of options, a player should never be judging their own game.
