GymLeaderPhil's Thoughts on Phil Mondiello

Phil and Phil Supporters:  Don't give me, or anyone, anything about:

"I (He) didn't know fraudulent reports are bad"

1. Listen first off there is a little thing named common sense (Which is required), if you never read any of the DCI Tournament Guidelines/Penalties/Rules (Which is required) I would think Phil and supporters would know about it.

2. If Phil never read any of the DCI Tournament Guidelines/Penalties/Rules (Which is required) he should have seen the Suspended DCI Players list, 14 People Listed for Fraudulent Tournament Reports including Phil:

"Jeffrey Lyon DCI # 1330212 Carmichael, CA Suspension: 3/30/99 to 3/30/02 Infractions: Fraudulent tournament reports Obstruction of DCI investigation

Yuta Shimobayashi DCI #: 2513875 Kyoto, Japan Suspension: 2/16/01 - 2/16/06 Infraction: Using a false name to submit fraudulent tournament reports."

3. If you read the DCI Universal Guidelines, I picked out a few sections Phil and Phil Supporters missed:

"11. Event Knowledge Responsibilities-

Competitors, judges, and organizers involved in sanctioned tournaments are responsible for knowing and following the most current version of the Universal Tournament Rules, the DCI Floor Rules for the appropriate game, and any other applicable regulatory documents, including the game rules for the appropriate game.

41. Cheating-

Misrepresenting public information (point totals, number of cards in deck, and so on)

94. Invalid Tournaments-

Players' match records at events that become invalid will not count toward their DCI ratings and rankings. The DCI reserves the right to invalidate reported results of any sanctioned tournament for any reason, but will usually do so only when fraudulent or incorrect results are reported by the organizer. Additionally, the DCI reserves the right to invalidate any event reports not received within thirty days of the tournament date.

95. Event Status Updates-

Tournament organizers and players may check on an event's reporting status by visiting the DCI website at www.thedci.com. Additionally, the DCI sends regular updates to organizers informing them of the status of each of their sanctioned tournaments. If an organizer's event appears as "Delinquent" or "Invalid" on this report two months in a row, the DCI will investigate the organizer's reporting history and issue sanctioning penalties as appropriate.

*The DCI reserves the right to adjust penalties on an individual basis due to extenuating circumstances and it reserves the right to change this policy without notice."

11 and 41 was what Mr. Mondiello violated...and 94 and 95 show what happens to people who submit fraudulent reports, and many who think he will win in court (if even he goes to court, stupid rumors) Mr. Asterisk shows he'll lose in court. I really don't see how you can dig your way out of this one Phil Mondiello...
