Why can he CHOOSE to take a forfeit. You either forfeit or you fight. If he has a choice, then folks can chide and shame him for his choice. That's price he pays for making that choice. He can avoid the shame by stating a honorable reason for not fighting, like this was his only available time slot for the rest of the week. But to say I'm taking the win because it's easy, should draw the shame of the community, and I won't be discouraged from shaming him because you say he's allowed to take a forfeit.
Now I'm NOT shaming him, because he hasn't stated a reason. Maybe he has a good one. Maybe he'll tell us.
Why bring it here? why not ask the Administrator your concerns or questions privately...... This has all been handled off of this open forum via thru the Administrator and the Review Committee
BaldEagl answered your question for you with his Reply ( Reply # 75 )
point blank: StokesAK forfeited the match and confirmed it by being 2 hours late
point blank: Yarbles & StokesAK made an arrangement/scheduled time to meet, both agreed apon the time, all Rules have been followed as written by BaldEagl
I have not seen Yarbles claim anything like you have typed in the quote below:

Yarbles did not forfeit, StokesAK did, by the way..........
As BaldEagl posted, some people have Real Life to deal with and when a scheduled time is set, they seriously rely on these schedulings and take the time to set an allotted amount of time aside for the event they have enrolled in........ when another comes and says something and that they are at fault......... then No Sir...... there is no reason to be derogatory toward the person who tried to do everything as was previously planned.........
why some wants to troll, or flame or get a rise out of another is beyond me..........
I simply ask that we all be a bit more respectful of everyone in the tournament, and not turn BaldEagl's tournament into an insult tossing, flame throwing, troll hunting, witch burning pile of burning cow manure
Why can he CHOOSE to take a forfeit. You either forfeit or you fight.
Once Again, Yarbles did not CHOOSE anything........ the Tournament Rules "Granted" Yarbles a win by forfeiture, because his opponent who agreed to a time, did not show up within the 15 minutes allotted........ he was actually over 2 hours late and did not contact anyone before hand / before the scheduled meet time............. He simply forgot or something to that effect.........
I hope this is done with now........ I hope people get to dog fighting / dueling these cartoon planes more and relax on the possibility of trying to shame someone for no apparent reason
