Today, I experienced an absurd ruling in an RCQ. Please see photo on what happened. I struggle to understand such ruling under comp REL and I am disappointed on how things turned out. I hope I can meet more responsible judges in my future life.

Players, judges and TOs should all be serious. Certified judges spend their time and money to learn the rules and travel to tournaments to gain experiences. Most judges are compensated almost on the minimum wage level to judge events. Such efforts should be respected.
